Media Language:
- Logo & Contents - The logo is very bold and stands out against the black background. Also, to anyone that is reading the magazine, they will know that they're still reading the same magazine, rather than a random one. Because the contents is on the side, it makes it very easy for the reader to find what they went to read. The title at the top of the page, is also bold and because the colour of the font is white, it makes it stand out.
- Main Image- The main image is an important part on a contents page because when opening the magazine, that is the first thing that the readers sees. Also, the image is very dominating because it takes up most of the space on the page. The image also links to one of the featured articles inside the magazine which readers can read. Also, it shows the band 'Kasabian' performing.
- Date- The date is an important part for the magazine, because there is many different magazines that get published. And by putting a date on them, it will allow the readers to be able to the exact date that it was published.
- Features- The features on the contents page include page numbers, which give reference to the location of articles, with their name so that the readers will be able to turn straight to the article that they're looking for. Also, Their is also a continuous colour scheme through out the page. Also, there is advertisements at the bottom of the page which could be based upon other contents on the contents page.
Ideology: The Ideology of the contents page is that it is informing the readers about what articles are inside the magazine. For example, it has different topics which can be seen on the right side of the image. Some of these features are: News, Reviews, Live and Radar. These are some of the different topics that the readers are interested in, because the reviews wont just be about one artist, it will be about many others as one could be about seeing them in concert. Whereas the news is about what is going on in the music business, all about the other artists and what it is that they're doing.
Audience: When reading NME magazine, the audience will be interested in different parts of it. Some may only read it for the reviews, whereas other may be interested in the news. From the information I found, it is very clear the music has a big impact on the readers life's and this magazine plays an important role for music lovers of the Rock/Indie genre. Also, the contents page gives the audience a different choices of what they want to read.
Representation: The Representation of the contents page is that it is giving the audience guidance as to where they can find an article that they want to read. By having a contents page, this means that when the reader opens up the magazine they are immediately being able to see what page the article is on. Also, it gives information about the main article, by including some of the text and a main image.
