This is the contents page from Kerrang and features Greendays lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong. The contents page is very simplistic compared to how the front cover is very busy and so i thought it would be a theme running through the magazine. This is perhaps to attract to a wider and older audiance, looking more sophisicated would appeal to older audiances but the main cover will still appeal to their target teen audiance.
The main title of the page is 'CONTENTS' this is a simple and clear way of representing what is going to feature in the magazine. There is one main image on this page, placed to the far right and taking up the length of the page, obviously dominating. The picture is of Billie Joe Armstrong, wearing a leather coats, striped scarf, big and chunky earphones, he is also sticking out his tongue to the camera while amking direct eye contact. There are no other images scattered on the page and the only image really capitivates the audiance and draws them in. The colour of Billie's clothing matches the colours used in the text, there by showing a structure and leading your eyes around the page, for example black and red striped scarf compared to Black to red to black text layout.
The page information is catergorised in sections related to context. The page numbers in the sections are in cronilogical order. The page numbers are a RED which is very clear to read against the white background. The titles of the pages are very suited to the target audience. Eg; 'DONT ROCK THE VOTE!'. The play on words add interest and share a sense of fun. Most of the titles end in ! or ? or ... this punctuation emphasises and creates excitement.
