Firstly,
the three magazine have many similarities which involve the
conventional aspects of music magazines. They all use columns
on their contents pages which give a sense of structure
and precision. This shows a pattern of conventional features of a
typical music magazine. This is done to make the readers navigation
for different pages more easy and straight forward. This pattern of
the use of columns for the contents page has made me decide to
include columns to structure my contents page. Secondly, all the
contents page have a running head above their feature stories etc.
This titles the contents page and labels it giving a clear idea to
the reader of where the contents page is.
However,
B&S, mixmag and Jazzwise have many contrasts towards each other.
These include, the variety of images used to engage
with the demographic. Mixmag used a range of different images to
attract their readers and to also please the visual learners.
B&S and Jazzwise only use one image which may engage with their
particular demographic but overall don't appeal to a wide range of
people. I will therefore use multiple images for my contents
page to give the appearance which mixmag presents to their readers.
Lastly, all of the magazines have different ways of navigating their
reader to specific stories/articles. Mixmag successfully does this by
using larger page numbers to direct their reader
towards what their interested in reading. However, B&S and
Jazzwise do not do this which doesn't give a bold appearance to the
potential readers. This makes me want to use large page numbers to
give a easy way of navigation to the readers.
