Contents page evaluation 2

This is my second analysis that i have hcosen to evaluate. The magazine is aimed at drummers, or those who are intrested in drumming and wish to read about genral drum up to date information.

The writing on the contents page is red and black which is a convention of rock. The colours also allow the text to stand out. The text is small and vague as contents pages should not include large amounts of infomation as they should be simple, easy to read and straight to the point.

On the top of the contents page, the masthead is easily visable with a red background which is a convention of rock which draws the attention of the reader. The images on this particular contents page refer to the name of this music magazine, Drummer. The pictures include some drummers and a band.
