This page is fairly typical of contents pages, including all the neccesary and traditional features. The page includes striking colours particularly typical of "Kerrang" magazine. The yellow and black draws the readers eye to various areas of the page hence sustaining the attraction. At the top of the page a small paragraph written by the editor of the magazine. It includes a picture of her to give the reader an idea of the type of woman she is, therefore giving the magazine an informal, friendly style and increasing the readers involvement. This paragraph also gives the reader an idea as to what they can expect to find in the magazine. There is also a quote used from Chris of the rock band "Anti-flag". It says "I'd be really slutty if i were a girl for a day". The colloquial, almost taboo language attracts the readers attention, as typically in kerrang magazine, they include various shocking features to grab the attention of the reader, making them want to read more. It also conforms to the idea of rebellion and uncencorship, something that will attract teenagers, the prime target audience of the magazine. It can also attract anyone who supports the rock genre, because rock is generally about rebellion and vulgarity. The image underneath the 8 page review is the album cover of one of "Muse"'s albums. Many of the readers will be familiar with muse, therefore are immediatley drawn to the album cover because of the familiarity therefore want to read more. The other images are typical of the rock genre, for example using dark clothes and unconvential accesories, particularly in the image of slipknot, with the use of masks. The images are enlarged to grab the readers attention. There are a few small pieces of text to show the reader what they can expect from the magazine.
