On this contents page they have decided to alure the reader in with music celebrity pictures with house styles introducing articles. By having pictures of celebrities when they’re out and about, makes it seem as if they are seeing the celebrities exclusively and secretly.
Wham magazine has featured an editors magazine at the top left of the contents page. This is used in many magazines and is a typical format used in contents pages. In the letter he makes the reader think that he and the team have worked so hard to produce this one monthly
magazine ‘in this months issue we have worked hard to get you the latest information on all the latest-’ by saying this it makes the reader feel as if its money well spent and also that they have got all the information they would want on celebrity gossip and latest music. At the end of the letter he talks about how the readers should subscribe to the magazine to save 25% on gigs and concerts. By using an offer it makes the reader think that they would be saving a massive amount of money. Also by having this offer inserted into the editor magazine, it makes it seem as if its just a friend mentioning it to you and not an editor of a popular music magazine. By having an editor letter makes it seem more personal and also by having the handwritten signature, makes it seem personal to the reader.
The house style is a very bold style. This is done to go with the name of the magazine ‘wham’. Because the word ‘wham’ is meant to be a bold word the house style is based around that, using bold contrasting colours such as black, yellow and pink. By using bold colours it makes sure that everything stands out, make it look more exciting and also represent the magazine name ‘wham’. At the bottom of this contents page is a preview of one of the articles featured in the magazine. The small preview of the article acts as a teaser to the audience, to show them what's inside which entices them. The small headline for that article is in all higher case and is in a bold black font. This style of font represents the article itself, because when something is in all caps it makes it look more important and controlling, which is exactly what the article is about.

This Kerrang contents page is set up to be clear to the audience about what is in this magazine. The main colours are black and yellow which a bold contrasting colours. By using these two colours it makes it stand out against each 
other which represents the genre rock because when you think of the genre rock you think loud, bold and hard. The genre rock music needs to be represented in this magazine because that is what the magazine is about. To help show that this is a rock magazine various rock artists on the contents page to show what will be featured and represent the rock genre. The overall set up is clear and simple to help make the audience see where everything is in the magazine. Each page is under a subheading so when the audience want to look at a specific part of the magazine they can go to the contents page find the subheading and go directly to the article they want by page number. In the top corner of the magazine is a letter from the editor. The letter from the editor is seen is many magazines and makes the audience feel as if they are being welcomed into the magazine personally by the editor. In the bottom right corner is an offer on subscribing to ‘Kerrang’. This is in a orange box with white writing style. The orange box compliments the white background of this contents page and the colour orange doesn't fit into the colour scheme of yellow and black, therefore looks like it is not part of the contents of this magazine.

This contents page has a original style because most contents pages in magazine follow the same format. The f
ormat is usually a clear and small images of things that will be featured in the magazine. However in this magazine one large image of a celebrity is used and then the text is on the side of her. The image dominates the contents page and makes the celebrity the main focus of this magazine. The font of the words is modern style of font. The word contents is in a large, bold and white writing which is spread downwards, this is done because it leads the readers eyes to the sub headings of the contents. The subheadings ‘Features’ and ‘Fashion’ is done in a different style. The style of these two headings looks feminine and elegant. These two headings contrasts against the bold, modern font of the word ‘contents’, which makes it look more interesting to the reader. The image of the celebrity represents them as being very elegant and glamorous. She is represented as this because she is wearing high heels, expensive jewellery and has glamorous make-up and hair. By having her legs on show it makes her seem more attractive as well to the audience and also creates more of an interesting shape for the audience. The background of this image has an fading effect, it starts off as a black and then faded down to light grey, this created a gradient effect and highlights the female celebrity in the light part of the background. The colours of the background are neutral which match the female’s clothing. This simple layout focus the attention on the celebrity and makes it easy for the reader to get to the magazine pages.

rity Katy Perry. The image of the celebrity holding the blow up mushroom is a very bold image. Its bold because her positioning looks robotic and the blow up mushroom looks like something strange to have in a contents page. This represents the celebrity as being a bold and interesting character. Also by having this image in the contents page shows how she is the main feature of this magazine. The word contents is in a bold and sharp font this represents the image below also because its all very modern and robotic and doesn't look natural. The listing of the pages is on the right hand side of the page in small writing which makes sure that the main focus is on the image. Although the writing is small it still is easy to read and clear to the reader. All of the writing on this page is in a black colour except from the word ‘features’ which is in a bold pink colour. This is done to highlight that specific word which highlights the features that is special to this particular edition. The colour pink represents femininity and by having it as quite a bold pink represents a bold woman, which is exactly what they are representing Katy Perry as. I like this style of contents page because its very bold, however I think that in a contents page the listings of the pages should be the main priority.

On the left hand side of the page it has the billboard chart list which shows 
what songs are in the charts that week. Then on the right hand side of the page is the normal contents page which tells the reader the pages and features the magazine.
To make sure that the reader can differentiate the two sections they have designs each section to be in contrast to one another so they don't look like they are part of the same thing. The chats part of the page is in dark colours such as black, grey and white. The second part is in bright colours such as blue, white and black. This differentiates the sections to the reader and makes it easier for the reader to understand. The contents page has 4 images in total. Three images at the top of the page and then one in the middle of the page. The three images at the top indicate the features that the magazine have especially, by having g the images there its easier to go to the image then to the page then looking through a list of words to find the particular feature. The middle image is the image that was on the front cover, this then helps the reader go straight to the feature o the front if that's the reason why they bought the magazine.
Overall I like this set-up of the magazine because its easy for the reader to jump to the pages they want to see without having to look through a list of words.

This contents page for a classical magazine has a classical feel to it. The background of this magazine is a deep rich red colour which is different to many of the other contents pages that I have analysed. The
deep red represents richness which is what you think when you think classical music, the colour is also quite a classic colour which will never be outdated. The white lettering is used to stand out against the red colour, the white and the red compliment each other in a soft way. The font of the words also represents that overall idea that this is a classical music magazine. The font is a traditional style which looks like its very classic. The set-up of this contents page is very simple and easy to read for the reader. The advertisement on the side of the page shows how this magazine is in a partnership with this particular music site. By having this in their contents page represents that this company is important to them and deserves recognition. The only image used (apart from the advertisement) is of a more mature woman. This picture represents that she will be featured in this magazine. Next to the image is two small yellow arrows that point to the image and the number eight. This shows to the audience that this is where you can read about this woman. The image represents the woman as a attractive mature lady, and having her wear an elegant black dress shows that she is an elegant lady. Overall I think this contents page is good because it represents clearly the idea that this is a classical magazine.
