Kerrang magazine content page review.

Like Kerrang's front cover page design, the contents page has a busy looking layout which corresponds to its readers interests and possibly to their lifestyle. It is quite hard to read, however this suggests that what is inside is exciting and value for money.
The colours scheme consists of black white and yellow which is used to highlight certain features on the page such as the contents subtitles. This is used to divide the list up a little and have a sense of order. The magazine uses photos relating to its issue features to attract the reader's attention and intregue them. Also this makes up for the simple colour pallete and makes the overall page look exciting.
There is a small editorial in the top left hand corner however this has a simpler look and looks less chaotic compared to the rest of the page. It also suggests that readers aren't as interested in this as much as the rest of the magazine. The biggest feature on the page is a larger photograph of 'The Gaslight Anthem' which shows the designer wants this to be the the first thing the reader notices on the page. However this is on page 14 which means the reader in theory has to wait until they get to this article.
