Kerrang contents page.

• the kerrang contents page is easily recogniseable as it is very similar to the front cover.
• it has the same colours of red and black which are seen to be masculine colours and this again relates to the target audience of the magazine. they have also decided to use yellow on the contents page. this makes the writing stand out against the black box.
• the theme of the magazine is carried through into the contents page as it has 11 images, one of which is the front cover of the magazine and the others are of the bands which are going to be featured in this particular issue of Kerrang.
• it has been split up into 4 columns. these columns are clearly shown because they are thin black lines separating each column.
• the right hand column shows the contents using mostly words. and the writing is aligned the the left where the separating line is.
• the other three columns have 2 images in each column. underneath each image is a page number using the black and yellow colours to make it stand out and then has the band name written in capitals like the title of the magazine (KERRANG) and then a couple of words explaining what each story is going to be about.
• the font used on the contents is the same as the ones used on the front cover. on the contents page where it says "kerrang! awards special!" it looks like part of the writing has been rubbed off with a sponge kind of thing. and on the front cover the red banner, the top of it looks like it has been ripped or like with the writing, part of it has been rubbed off as it creates the same effect. along with the red banner, on the front cover where it says, "8 page special!" and "wish you was here?" also have the same effect.
• the 9 main images on the contents all have a thin black outline and then on the left and bottom side of the image they have a black/grey shadow. this makes the images seem like they are standing out of the page and give them a 3D effect.
• the red in the contents page is not as prodominant as it is on the front cover. the yellow has taken over being the prodominant colour on the contents page.
