Analysing Other Magazine's.

after analysing magazine's such as 'bliss', 'sugar' and 'cosmo girl' i know that i need to keep my magazine :

• simple but interesting and attractive at the same time.
• plenty of colour and things to look at.
• the pictures need to be quite high quality.
• the title needs to stand out.
• the literacy must be correct and make sense.
  
  the layout for the contents page will be one similair to the style that 'NME' and 'KERRANG!' uses...
  

i like how the mag have a 'band index', this encourages people to have a look for the bands they like and then just simply flick to the page they're featured on. the 'feedback' section in 'KERRANG!' is a good idea, as it lets readers have the opportunity to feature in the magazine and have there say on albums, singles or even gig reviews. the 'feauture's' part in both magazines, is what is on the front cover and tells you what page it is on. they both have a main picture and a couple of little ones which makes it interesting to look at and if you like that particular artist you feel more inclined to have a look.

it has the the title and date repeated on the contents page, and in 'KERRANG!' they have the issue number. 'NME' also have an advert for subscribing to them, and only having to pay £1.49 per issue instead of the normal weekly rate of £2.30. this encourages people to subsribe knowing they'll save money, and it also benifits 'NME' because they have a guaranteed profit no matter what is on the cover or inside.
