Kerrang Contents Page

Kerrang! is mainly aimed towards the rock and punk rock genre, but it is also for young people, and the age group is similar to our group's target audience. Therefore, I have chosen to analyse this contents page, because the layout and colour scheme are elements that could inspire the way that my contents page will look. 

The conventional side-banner appears to be very consistent, and the highlighted subheadings make the text stand out, and attracts the audience, along with the images. 

The use of the images is effective as well, because they overlap and this brings an aspect of spontaneity, which would excite the target audience, and this may be something that I would like to consider when positioning my own images. 

In terms of the banner specifying the contents page, the blue banner contrasts with all that is on the page. Despite how effective this comes across to be, I would rather have the banner representing the magazine's house-style, as I would want the CONTENTS heading to define the brand that my magazine is trying to put out.
