This is the contents page for The history of Rock
The Contents page for the history of rock is very basic and can be seen throughout other magazines with the same layout and style. The colour scheme for the magazine is white blue and red. These colours have great colour connotations that contrast with each other with both of their positive meanings such as freedom and power and purity. These colour connotations could be relating to the individual musicians that have been featured in the magazine and how they were perceived by fans and also what they may have thought of themselves during their time. The colour that is the main focus of the page is mainly white and red. White has colour connotations of purity and also red has colour connotations of passion and also committment, knowing this i believe that these colours are trying to get the readers to really understand and see from their perspective of how these magazines have cultavated all of these previous musicans over the years and try and show dedication and honour towards them.
The word Contents is in all black and in bold which is seen as very simple and also shows how they may have wanted rock music to be back then. Not complicated but also very serious and easy to understand if you gave it some time. in different sections there are different pictures featuring different bands and also different musicians at the time.
The contents page however features very basic design techniques such as having the numbers above the text or next to it in bold and plain red which could be seen as a lack of design but i believe that this whole design concept of the contents page is to go with the flow of the initial colour scheme of the magazine and also allowing it to be very visible to readers rather than having a contents page where everything is in distort and all over the place.
The contents page features albums and also music covers of individuals that are inside the magazine which is a great choice that the producers of this magazine have made as it allows readers to get straight to the point and also pin point certain things that they would want to find by looking at the contents page. What i mean by this is that in other magazine if you wanted to look for a particular song by a particular band you would have to look at that bands name in the contents then read and skim over their entire section just to get to that particular song that you wanted, however with this method it tells you exactly what page the song is on and also additional information about the song and what band made it.
Also i think it was a great idea to add in vintage images of bands and also newspapers from that era to show the development that has occurred in their time and now and also shows a bit of respect to the previous rock stars than were alive, also allowing readers to find particular interviews that they have wanted to see over a long period of time but not being able to find it due to problems they may have encountered in real life.
In conclusion i think that this contents page keeps the initial design concept of a contents page however adds more bonuses to it so that it is the same as a contents page but somewhat different that it is noticeably standing out compared to other contents pages which is a great factor that they have added to their work. The concept of a contents page is here along with additional factors which i think overall makes this a great contents page which is easy to navigate around.
