Genre related research

I am analysing this contents page as it relates to my genre. I have chosen to analyse this NME magazine contents page as is has a very large image in the centre of the page.


Magazines to focus on NME & Indie.
This is because of the style and way their are laid out. I have chosen to analyse this contents page due to the layout.

This contents has 10 main articles which are featured and over 66 pages. The image takes up over 1/3rd of the page with it being the main feature of the magazine. The image has also been followed up with a great amount of text which describes and gives hints to the article. To the left hand side of the image is a large column on 'band index' I like this idea and may use it in my own contents as it gives a great list of which Band's this magazine features.

At the bottom of the page is advertisement, this takes up a large section page and is used to show a subscription and the offers there is with one.  I also may use this feature in my magazine as I think it would be a great way to entice more readers with a cheep subscription. Most of the page is wrote in serif as this is a convention of most contents pages.

There is many items I would like to use in my own contents page which I have taken from this one:
Where the mast head is placed.
The band list
Subscription offers
Large image and text information.
