Contents page analysis

Adding the magazine logo into the background works in promoting the brand itself, it also helps tie all the elements of the page together. The V logo fills a large gap of the page without being overwhelming. The unusual layout of "contents" proves the magazines individuality from other music magazines, and possibly connoting the individuality of the genre of music the magazine presents. The column on the left has a simple layout making it easier for the audience to read. It is split into two sections making it easier to read. The category headings are written in a formal font with serif. The deep red/burgundy background could be connoting deep passion; it acts as a nice complimenting colour towards the artist’s skin tone. The white text is a nice contrast to the background colour; it also makes the page look more modern and contemporary feel. The model is shirtless wearing some expensive jewellery round his neck and a flat cap backwards. This connotes culture and wealth. The small head around his neck connotes death and tragedy. The figure of the model portrays anger as he is pulling off his jewellery and his facial expression; it is not designed to be an appealing image but a figure of individuality.
