Contents analysis-DJ
This magazine takes a blocky approach to its contents page, I think they have done this for a variety as they used image dominated on the front cover. I like how they have stuck to the same colour scheme as well as the images and text sectioned off from each other so that it doesn't look messy. It also clearly displays the page numbers that the articles are on, I will also do this and clearly display where and what my articles are about on my contents. I think that by using 5 images it keeps the contents page interesting. This contents page also has another section (on the left hand side in the black section) where it tells you exclusive features in this magazine, I think that this would be effective as it stands out because of the black background with the white text. In my opinion this contents page is very effective, however I am not to keen on the three colours they have chosen to do, I think I may do some of the things it does like have a lot of images to keep the reader interested.

This contents page takes a different approach as it is image dominated, I also like the image dominated look as well as the blocky. This magazine is slightly less informal as it is image dominated and there is text down the side. I think that this layout is very effective though because it has the page numbers again clearly displayed in bold yellow writing, also the text next to it is white and bold to catch the readers eye. The picture that they have used is crucial, I will not personally be using an image like this because I think that viewers would find it quite intimidating and a man with trainers around his neck and gold teeth does not represent the genre of DJ music. It has a very classy approach in its other images because they have faded the colour out in the bottom left hand image to give it a retro look which I quite like as it is different.

This contents page takes an image dominated approach, the picture they use suits the type of magazine it is as it is a crowd of people dancing, I think this image is effective because it is the first thing the viewer sees when they turn to the contents page. Although this contents page is image dominated they have kept it quite formal as they have the text ordered down the side and bottom of the page. The way that mixmag has ordered this contents page works. Another feature that I think is effective is that it advertises a free CD in the bottom left hand side of the contents page, small conventions like this are essential and I will probably take a similar approach to this contents page. As well as advertising the free CD it tells you what songs are on it which is a clever idea in my opinion. Personally I think that this contents page is very effective because the image dominated layout is very effective, I may use a similar image to this on my contents page of my magazine.

This contents page is very similar to the other mixmag one as it is also image dominated with the text to the right hand side, it has kept a formal approach again which I like. It has also advertised the free CD at the bottom section of the page. The image again is very good as it shows people clubbing and having a good time. The text to the side telling you what is inside has been made into bold large writing text to grasp the readers eye. I like the three colour scheme they have used in this contents page as it is plain and simple however it is eye catching as it is black background with white text and for crucial text that they want you to read they have made that yellow so that it stands out more on the black background. I will take a similar approach to this contents page, plain and simple but eye catching and effective.

This contents page is quite smart, it takes a blocky approach which I think is effective towards the reader. It clearly displays the numbers outlined in a red box which clearly states what is where in this magazine. The images used are quite effective as it catches the viewer’s eye. It catches the readers eye and clearly shows what articles the pictures are on. The text is laid out down the right hand side of the contents page which makes it easy to read on the yellow background as the text is a visible black. This contents page is very effective however I do not think that I will follow the three colour scheme of yellow, red and black because I think that the colours are quite sickly however they are effective. The images are nice but also I will not be following the trend as I think I am going to have an image dominated approach on my contents page.
