Contents Page Analysis



This is a Metal Hammer contents page. The masthead is in an old styled font which was commonly used on the album artwork of early metal bands and is still used today by some bands with an old metal vibe. It stands out as it is black against a white background. and the logo of the magazine is used above it in the font which they have throughout the magazine making it more recognisable. There are two columns, on one there are the pages which contain things which are specially featured in the magazine and in the other there is the things which are usually featured in the magazine.

There are a lot of pictures on the page and buy each picture there is the page number to where you can find the page with the artist on. there is also another picture which has reviews written on it. Some of the pictures are much larger than others and stand out more so readers can see them. they are also the most popular musicians who the buyers of the magazine will want to read about the most.

The page also gives a little bit of information about what is on each page which is conventional of all styles of magazines. The colour scheme is black and red. Both these colours connote bad and evil things and this style of music is often associated with darkness and some bands try to appear as evil with their image and lyrics in the music.
