Kerrang- Contents page

I have chosen to analyse a contents page from the music magazine ‘Q’. This contents page is very different to the R&B music magazine that I analysed as the reader is being fed with more information this may imply that this music magazine may be for people who are slightly more educated as they may be more interested in information than pictures. The camera shot that has been used is also different compared to the R&B music magazine. The camera shot that has been used for this contents page is a long shot which shows the entire body of the person, while the focus is on the characters, plenty of background detail still emerges. This is very different to the R&B music magazine as the main focus for that magazine was the person on it whereas with this music magazine not all of the attention is on the people in it focuses on the background and the people in it. The people in the magazine are wearing simple clothing yet it still stands out to the readers as their all wearing the same sort of colours this shows that they thought about what they will be wearing instead of just putting anything on this shows that they took time getting ready. Most members of the group have their hands in their pockets which may indicate confidence and style. Even though some of the focus is on the background but the main focus is on the group as they stand out from the background that has been used. A lot of writing has been used on this contents page compared to the R&B music magazine this shows that this magazine not only focuses on the appearance of the people on it however it focuses on the information it gives to the reader also. There are three subheadings used on this contents page written in bold  ‘Features’ section and ‘Every month section’ both of these sections are written in white writing with red rectangle which is very appealing to its audience as it goes well with the magazines logo which is also in red and white. The ‘Review’ section is written in white with black rectangle background behind it this is also very attractive as it stands out and also an image is used in the review section giving the reader something to look at and attracting Indie music listeners to the magazine and this image is a direct indication to the review. The colours scheme for this contents page is quite simple yet effectual. This music magazine may be aimed more at an older audience as it’s got more information and the way it’s set out is in sophisticated manner.
