content page deconstruction

The colour scheme of Q has been continued, which shows the house style and makes the magazine look professional. The features are clear to read and there isnt any dead space. The image helps to break up the text and draws your attention to it, which makes the page easier in the eye, which will make the reader more likely to want to buy the magazine. In Q the column is kept the same in every issue which helps reinforce the house style. The layout of the column is easy to read and is not to cramped which makes it more appealing to the reader. Q review offers the reader an insentive to read on as it gives them a taster of what is in the magazine.

The message from the editor in the top left makes the magazine seem more personal as the editor is personally addressing their fans, which makes the reader feel more involved. The use of the quotation in the top right corner gives the reader a taster of one of the featured interviews, which makes them want to read on. The use of the images helps to break up the page without making the page appear crowded. The colour scheme of Kerrang! has continued into the contents page, which creates a house style and makes the image seem more professional.

The main image of the drummer overtakes the rest of the page as it demands the readers attention, which draws away from the different bands featured in the magazine. The list of features should stand out more and be easier to read. The images used in the top right corner are difficult to see clearly due to the dot effect used over the top of the image. The images in the top should be enlarged, with the main image slightly reduces to make the features stand out more.
