Contents Page:
This is the contents page of rock music magazine Drummer. The contents page represents the genre of rock from many things on the page.

The masthead 'contents' is in big white letters against a red background allowing it to stand out on the page and catch the readers eye. Also the name of the magazine 'drummer' is in big black letters against a white background, this is to make the name the most noticable thing on the page so the readers continue to buy the magazine. To go with the name and the genre of the magazine there are many pictures of drums and and bands.

The colour scheme of the contents page is one that many readers identify to be on a rock magazine. Black, red and white are used on many music magazines e.g NME, Q. This is done so the magazine represents a paticular type of audience and appeals to their target audience. Black, red and white usually represents people who like Rock and Indie music so this relates back to the genre of the magazine.

The images shown on the contents page all relate to the paticular type of magazine it is, and are there to encourage the reader to read the rest of the magazine. The images have pge numbers in the top left corner, this is to show the reader what will be included later on in the magazine; but not to give to much away about the images. This therefore makes the reader curious as to what the images are there for and makes the reader want to read on.

The cover lines on the contents page are split into two groups 'features' and 'regulars'. The features are the most interesting things in the magazine, and therefore gains the magazine more regular readers. The regulars are there for the people who always buy the magazine and therefore know what will be in the magazine. Each feature has a small description of what it will be about but not to much that it gives it away so the reader doesn't need to buy the magazine. The page numbers are in big red letters so the reader after seeing the description goes straight to the story in the magazine.
