Contents Research

I've taken pictures of 4 magazines from my room; Vice, MOJO, Dazed and Confused, and Classic Rock

First is Vice. Vices contents page is very simple, it features one photograph from a photographer that has an article inside the magazine and then below that it just has black and white text listing all the article and features inside this issue. Each one has the title in bold followed by a subtitle which gives some idea of what the article is about.

Second is MOJO. I think the MOJO contents page would work better with my magazine because it is a music magazine and features a musician with black and red text on the background of the picture. Each article has the name of the musician or band in bold capitals and the has a short paragraph under that with a short summery. MOJO's contents also features the magazines logo at the top of the contents.

Thirdly is Dazed and Confused. Another magazine named after a song (this time Led Zeppelin) has a contents page similar to Vice. It uses a photograph with black and white text under it, however the text is overlapping the picture on this contents with blocked in white behind it. It also credits the cover photographer and talks about what is featuring on the magazines website this month. also features a logo at the top.

The last is Classic Rock. Classic Rock uses a large black and white photo of Jimi Hendrix on the contents pages with white text relating to the article about him and then everything else is inside a white box with black text in a very similar style to MOJO. It doesn't feature the magazines logo but does have the date and issue number at the top under the word contents.
