Total guitar contents page analysis

Unlike the front cover, the contents page uses a simple font. The text is arranged into columns for the different subject titles and the content is listed underneath. The majority of the text is on the first page of the double page spread. These are positioned at the bottom of the page. The rest are positioned on the right side. This smartly arranged text contrasts with the messy arrangement of the images on the second page. This text may connote a sense of seriousness to the magazine to show a serious Passion for the music. However, on the second page the names of songs are written in hand writing. This gives the magazine an old fashioned look and this is also emphasised with the images used of the bands listed. It is also written on a piece of paper which is slightly scrunched up. This creates a personal connotation, because it seems like someone has written a list of their favourite songs.
The first page of the contents page looks tidy and reasonably formal. However the second page appears to be more hectic; The collage of images take up most of the space on the page. The images illustrate what exactly is featured in the magazine. Different music artists are shown on this page. These are the artists that are listed beside them. These artists are popular bands from the past which may appeal to the older audience or interest young people to listening to classics. The images on the first page are of guitars and the front cover model with a guitar. This illustrates what the magazine is based on; guitars. This half of the contents gives a clear idea of what is featured in the magazine, whereas the second half of the contents is more exciting.
