Analysis of ‘NME’ contents page

NME magazine is probably the biggest music magazine in the music market this is why I chose to analysis it.

As you can see the contents page stays in line with the outside of the magazine from my front cover analysis the black and red colour scheme is the same, this is because the magazine wants to make sure it looks professional and look as though the magazine would be a good read through out.

You know that it is the contents page and you know what is going to be in the magazine as it says NME this week at the top, you will know what the main story is as the main picture on the contents page shows it.

Down the right hand side of the contents page it shows what is going to be in the magazine this is good as if somebody wanted to quickly glance down at the page to look what was going to be appearing in the magazine to check if they wanted to read it and buy it.

It gives an A-Z list of all bands that have appeared in articles though the years of NME’s history showing how good the magazine is and how good it has been, proving that it is a quality source of music information and attracting people to read it.

It also gives details of how you would subscribe to NME magazine with links to its internet as well as a phone number and a text mobile number you can phone if you want any further information or wish to have an issue of the magazine regularly.

It also gives the date showing that you are getting the latest information from music around, it also allows people to keep up to date on whether they have the right magazine and if they are collectors they can have ll the right magazines.

The font in the little writing stays the same but the main parts of the text are bolder and bigger, showing that people should look at them and attract you to looking at it. 

Analysis of vibe magazine contents page

I chose vibe magazine as it is music magazine giving information from my chose genre and it is also a good magazine.

The contents page is like the front page in many cases as one picture is the centre of attention and makes you look at it, you know that the artist on the front is going to be one of the leading stories probably the main story as soon as you pick the magazine up and look in it.

It is very plain with only a little bit of information down the left hand side of the contents page showing the features of the magazine, this is good as people can instantly glance at these features and decided whether or not they want to pick up and read the magazine.

It says contents page 1/3 showing that it isn’t the only contents page which is an interesting way of finding what is going to be in the magazine having to look through 3 contents pages, this is unique and people will look at it and think that there must be a lot of articles n the magazine and this will make them buy the mag.

There is also a little date line at the bottom of the page so that people can keep track on the dates and time periods of the magazines.

The main picture in the centre is there to make the magazine appealing to its audience, and the colour scheme purple shows that the magazine is acceptable for both genders
