Contents page analysis #4


The contents of Drummer magazine uses many of the typical conventions that you would expect from a music magazine. The main image has an Exclusive stamp printed on it which allows you to think that you are getting more for your money. The page features six photos, two of the images feature a drum kit with a man behind, this is un interesting to an average reader of a magazine however to the niche market of this magazine it will probably interest them. The colour scheme stands out as it is bold against a plain white background. The page numbers are also written in this colour which makes the page seem coordinated and sophisticated. The image in the bottom right shows a band with attitude and a unique style, this could suggest a particular target audience. The articles of the magazine are written in a column down the left hand side of the page, they are easy to read as the font is a good size and well spaced. The first few words of the article are written in bold which makes them even easier to see, the main think that Drummer magazine have tried to do is create an easy to understand and recognize magazine, their main concern is having easy to read information unlink NME magazine that featured lots os unnecessary cramped writing.
