These are 3 examples of music magazine
contents pages. They all follow the same conventions of a contents page. The
main article is given a larger picture to attract the appropriate audience,
also the have the pull quotes and feature stories in bold to make them stand
out on the page and attract the reader. The same colour scheme is used as well
with the white background making the rest of the pages stand out in comparison.
The red is also used in all the pages, this is used to represent the feeling of
passion and a rebellious nature which fits with the audiences expectations of
ideology behind the magazine. However, the two pages from Q magazine are quite
different from the one from NME. The NME page is much more crowded and
scattered with the feature stories having large headlines which standout and
are very noticeable. This means that the magazine will achieve in attracting
the correct demographic because the magazine is seen as a more rebellious and
rocky magazine which isn’t as serious as Q but it is still a respected name in
music so the structure is still organised and ‘boxy’ which has connotations of
professionalism. The two pages from Q have much more space between each story,
this has connotations of professionalism and makes the page look sophisticated
which suits the image the magazine as a brand because it is seen as a
professional and serious music magazine that is very respectable where the
magazines opinion is well respected as a review for example.
