DJ Magazine Contents Page Analysis

 
 Competitor Magazine Evaluation

Contents Page

 
The Photos in the contents page are positioned in such a way that makes it very easy for the reader to take in the rest of the information on the page.  The larger  picture that is separated from the main body of photos is the photo of the feature article, therefore the magazine is again trying to attract  the reader to read this article. There is a balanced photo: text ratio.
 
The photos are used to show that the magazine very visual rather than consisting of a lot of text which attracts the target demographic of young people  with the clubbing lifestyle would rather see the information is picture form.
 
The small gaps between the photos not only make them stand out, but they allow the reader to navigate through the contents page more easily .
 
The two photos showing technical equipment connotes that this magazine is more for aspiring DJ’s as well as those who are into club music.
 
 

The use of the columns make the page easier to follow and the colour-coordinated subtitles and sections also allow the reader to navigate and find the section they are interested in. The reason for this is that the target demographic are young, busy people who are always going out and therefore not have the time to be reading all of that magazine, but only the parts they find interesting  (For example: a person who has no interest in becoming a DJ will be able to know what pages they don’t need to read)
The use of the running head is used just to allow the reader to follow the order of the magazine.
The contrast of colours but also the contrast of photos to text show how different the genre of music is and how exciting it can be. This will interest the reader.
