Contents page

One of the most noticeable things about this contents page is the word drummer in a large bold font and the large black and white image of someone playing the drums. These 2 things are grouped together not just because the man in the photo is playing the drums but also because the colours match each other with the writing being black and most of the photo being black or at least a dark grey.

Another of the more in your face items on the page are the date and word ‘Contents’ in the top left corner and the regulars section in the bottom left, this is because they are both in red boxes and red is a very eye catching colour. It is for that same reason that all the page numbers are either written in red or in small red boxes just for them in the corners of the pictures.

The pictures all link to a story which has been easily defined with the page numbers written in the corner of each image, and then a list of what each story is about this helps keep the page tidy and yet still full. This also gives the reader one place to look to find out what’s in the magazine and then using that they can see visual prompts.

The main colours are black, white and red, all of which stand out against one another and so can be used to focus the readers attention as red on white is more out standing than black on white, which is still effective.
