Contents page - Final

The individually coloured letter resembles the cover, which creates a theme for the magazine. The additional colours in the images make them stand out, but not enough to drive attention away from the contents themselves. That they are angled images make them seem more like naturalistic photographs that have been placed down. The non-alignment also implies informality. This also resembles other magazines. They have also been taped down, which resembles the front page, creating another theme. The lack of text also makes the reader interested in who they are and what they're doing. This is also used on other magazines and is almost the opposite of the front page, where only the band name was given.

The sans serif font “Calibri” is used to give information about articles, and allows the primary font to stand out on the page. This technique is used in numerous other magazines. Informal language used which furthers the informal demographic, an example is "Who are ya?" as well as the exclamation marks, which empahsise the importance of the articles. Larger fonts demonstrate the article titles, where the smaller font elaborates slightly. This may make the reader want to read on should they want to. The font aligned to the right as opposed to the left “rebels” against the typical conventions in whch the text is typically placed on the left. This reflects people’s opinions on the rebellious lifestyle of rock fans and also furthers the informality of the magazine.
