Contents Analysis 3 (NME Magazine)

The contents page features again the basics of a magazine contents has such as a mast head, again showing the logo of the magazine and the title "THIS WEEK". The colours are the magazines logo red, also there is black to give the magazine and eye-catching impact effect on the reader.

On the left hand side of the page there is a 'Band Index' this allow the reader to see the new and upcoming band in the next few issues. If we look at the colour surrounding the text, we can see that it is a vibrant red, this may suggest the 'freshness' and 'hotness' of the new bands. The colour also matches the logo, which may also signify the 'hotness' of the magazine. However it may also symbolise the power of the magazine.

The sub-titles for each section of the contents are in contrasting colours, black and white this in turn helps them stand out more to the reader. Like the rest of the text on the page. Under each sub-heading we can see that the different features of the magazine have been put in order of the types of things in each category.

The main image is a image of the featured artist in the magazine in this case its Oasis. The image shows two of the band members on their world tour, this makes the image more personal to the reader as they are interested in the tour and it becomes a way for them to see the tour. The title of the image '...Oasis kicked off their world tour' has been made to stand out and grab the readers attention, its in a bold, black font. This is then followed by smaller but still bold font giving the reader a little more information on the article. Above the main title there is silver italic font saying 'The moment that.....' again dragging the reader in, however this font seems a little more suttle as it is silver and smaller the the text below, this maybe because it is leading up to the main title. With the article we can see the magazines ideology, this is show via the genre of music the band fall into and the type of people who listen to this type of music.

Below the main text there is a advertisement for people to subscribe to the magazine, this is in a black box which again stands out loudly, with it being on a white background. This is also accomplished with the aid of yellow text and the image on the magazines.This also shows an example of the magazines intuitions as its advertising itself.
