The structuring of the textual information on the contents page is laid out in quite an orderly manner, however the strong contrast in images used on the page is successful in upholding the beliefs and ideologies the magazine is keen to represent. The images implemented into the contents page of the magazine differ in colour schemes, eras and mediums, consisting of cartoon comic books, for example " The Smasher" comic book and even an image of Julie Andrews with Kermit the frog - this is a successful tool in helping the magazine appeal to a initially broader demographic of audience; comic books and cartoon characters from children's shows such as Sesame Street will undoubtedly attract a younger audeince. The more archaic imagery used such as the images of The Go-Gos, Bluebeat and Bob Marley show that the magazine is enthusiastic to help younger audiences to become aware about the origins of music and acknowledge its social and historical context in a fun and intriguing manner.

once more you have made some astute observations, but you also need to consider the conventions of layout and design in order to shape your own work. also consider how the contents page is/is not reflective of the ethos shown in the front cover.
ReplyDeleteThe structuring of the textual information on the contents page is laid out in quite an orderly manner; however, upon considering the magazine's conventions regarding layout and design it is clear that some of the more modern images of modern day musicians such as "The Who" seem to reflect a more serious and authoritive aesthetic from the facial expressions shown, therefore certain aspects of the contents are are not reflective of the ethos which is so enthusiastically conveys through the layout and design of the front cover.
