Music Magazine: Contents Analysis

We analysed a contents page of 'Top of the Pops Magazine'

I learnt from doing this that depending on what audience your magazine has, contents pages are set up very differently. For example with this magazine that targets young girls, means they want to find the pages of their favourite celebrities first, meaning the magazine has to make it obvious where those pages are to be found. Also the house colour can be affected by the audience depending on if they want consistency or random.

I liked some things this magazine chose to do on their contents page, I liked the way they had a picture of the front cover and made arrows to each story on the front cover making it very easy for the audience to find the story they are looking for. Also I liked the letter from the writer of the magazine, making the magazine more friendly and interactive.
