'Kerrang' Contents page.

This contents page is from the magazine 'Kerrang', as you can probably tell by the messy layout. This magazine is generally aimed at the rock genre or overall just heavy music, you can tell this from this page, all the artists on this page all look as if they produce heavy music. This links to the front cover, which is again aimed at the rock genre.

The layout seems very messy and as if there is too much on the page. However they still keep it surprisingly organized, they still use a certain layout; the captions are generally around the edges, like a frame, inside this frame are the images and under the images are small and quick captions to explain a bit about the image.

Like most magazines they use a lightly coloured background with a dark font, again this makes the fonts stand out and be in your face. In the top left of the page there is a paragraph of tiny writing, you wouldn't expect this to be there as not many people would want to read it, but then you notice the image that goes with the writing, it is explaining the next issue of 'Kerrang', this is to tempt the reader to buy the next issue. The sub-titles showing different sections is in a yellow font, but has a black box around it to make it stand out and then the individual pages are singled out in a black font underneath the different sections. This magazine uses a lot of different images, this is because usually large chunks of writing will bore the reader or put them off reading, so they show the main articles in the magazine by showing images to do with this story.
