Jamie's Contents Page


·         Same font as masthead of magazine.

·         3 different size fonts for each page description.

·         Same style throughout each magazine

·         Same order of content in a magazine

·         Large section in the middle is for competitions. Always competitions

·         At the base of each contents page, there’s an editors foot note

·         They have subscribe bonus offers

·         The photo in the centre relates to the competition. It’s humorous, shows the magazine is light-hearted.

·         The colour scheme is the same as the front cover: red, white and black with splashing of yellow.

·         There is the rule of thirds, in that the information of the content of the magazine is on the right hand side of the page and is for every Kerrang magazine.

·         There are no pulled quotes.

·         In the descriptions for the contents there are some puns and using the letter “K” in place for things, which helps show us that the article is theirs.




In this contents page, there is the same colour scheme for the contents page, as the front cover. It is black, white and red with splashings of yellow. The font is the same as on the front cover as well, which fortifies their colour scheme and house style. They use 3 different font sizes for their page name, the description and the page number. As I’ve said, the style is in every Kerrang magazine along with the fact they have a competition every week, and the picture on it is always in relation to the competition. There are no pulled quotes however... they do however have editors’ footnotes at the base of the page which is a way of making the magazine seem a bit more relaxed and homely. Almost as if the editor is speaking directly to the reader. The font used is a sans serif font, which is one of the more modern fonts, which is another way of bringing this magazine into the future.


The picture involves a guy drumming, and he has an “animal” head from the muppets. Animal was famous for drumming, and the competition prize was a really cool drum kit. Basically, they were making a pop culture joke.
