Contents Page ANalysis 3

The way the masthead is written in yellow on a black background really makes it stand out and catch the readers’ eye compared to the light back grounded plain rest of the page.  They also use a quote from Kirk Hammett to entice the audience because this is someone they would be interested in. the sub headings are written in capitals and back grounded again to make them attention grabbing. This magazine has an editor’s note, this makes the reader feel like the magazine has been made especially for them. They use a thumbnail of the front cover which is needed as the name of the magazine isn’t included.  The largest image on the page is a close up of a man, he look secretive and up close and personal signifying the article delves deep and is revealing. This image being the largest would suggest he is more important than the other bands pictured. The 2 backgrounds are similar so the picture bleeds and blends into each other possibly showing that his talent is uncontrollable and can’t be confined. The images are anchored by page numbers this makes the information easy to access for the readers. The images relate to the article inside the magazine and therefore appeal to the correct demographic. The images are meant to entice the readers I would suggest that is why there are images of bands living the rock and roll lifestyle and at gigs.  Below the images the artist’s names are written in bold this is also to catch the reader’s attention and make information easy to find. There is a consistent colour scheme of; black yellow and white to keep a tidy but interesting layout. They use lines down each column to create structure.
