Content and double page spread analysis

Contents page and Double page spread

View more presentations from PreetiMedia.

I have analysed content pages so that it will give me an idea of what a content page should include for it to look like a content page apart of a magazine. This has gave me an idea of what to feature in my content page which I will be producing and if I want to for or against the codes and conventions of the music magazine content page. For example the Vibe magazine front cover and content page keeps a consistent layout keeping the'V' which is from the masthead called 'Vibe' and the colours of the front cover are used again in the contents page. 'Contents' is not written in one sentence on the contents page and has been broken down in three lines.

Having the word 'Contents' to be written in three lines represents the Vibe magazines layout as contents is written in three lines throughout their content pages. If readers of the vibe magazine were to look at the contents page on its own they will be aware that the contents page is from a vibe magazine as the vibe magazine keeps the contents to be in three lines on every Vibe contents page. For my magazine to follow the codes and conventions of the vibe contents page I will also have the word 'Contents' broken down into three lines and I will make the font big and bold just like the vibe magazine. The vibe magazine uses one big image of the artist which is normally a mid shot or a full body. I will be breaking the codes and conventions of the vibe magazine by using more than one image on my contents page and following the codes and conventions of the Kerrang contents page images.

Kerrang uses many images on the contents page which fills up the page and makes the reader want to read on to the articles related to the images which is
why I want to include more than one image on my contents page.
I have also analysed double page spreads so that it will give me an idea of the codes and conventions of the layout to use on my double page spread. I will be using one big image of the artist as the double page spreads of a Vibe magazine includes one big image of the artist and use the rest of the space for my article. However I will be using an interview by the artist for my article which is not often done in the Vibe magazine as my magazine is targeted at teenagers who enjoy reading about artists and their personal matters through interviews. I will also be including quotes from the artist on my double page spread as this is done in the Vibe double page spreads and I want to follow the codes and conventions of the double page spread layout.
