The Kerrang
contents page follows many music magazine conventions-
•Page title
at the top of the page with the date of the issue- this is clear to the reader
as it has a bold yellow banner with black text in the house style with Kerrang
logo.
•Quotes
from various articles are listed under the features e.g. ‘The punkiest thing to
come from Essex ’.
•'Features'
section- 5 main features are listed in this issue number (1456), one of which
is the main feature advertised on the front cover about Black Sabbath- a highly
known and iconic band to interest the reader.
•Images are
minimal in this magazine- there are 4 in this copy- a picture of an amp and a
guitar which can be won are the main images, a smaller image of the deputy
editor accompanied by a brief note and an image of magazines advertising
subscriptions.
•Continuous
colour scheme throughout- black, yellow, red and white. All these colours are
found throughout the magazine
•Page
number giving reference to location of articles, with the name of the articles
•Large,
clear font clearly identifies all categories listed in the right hand column-
categories include: feedback, news, live reviews, posters, features, albums,
gig guide, the ultimate rock star test. This content provides the reader with a
sense of belonging, exclusivity, engagement, escapism and the chance to win as
well as having additional lures and freebies.
•Few
external advertisements from other institutions on the contents page- only
‘Peavey- innovation amplified’ and a ‘Learn to play day’
