In the top right hand corner of the page in the biggest font on the page is Contents in bright yellow writing in a black box. This attracts the readers eye as these colours contrast. Allowing the reader to know the purpose of this page. Also in the same box but in smaller font is the issue number and cover date to let the reader know what issue this is.
Beside this is a note from the editor accompanied by a smaller image of the issue's front cover. This is a common feature of Kerrang contents pages. This is a way for the editor to try to relate to the audience and make the reading experience more enjoyable. Lots of pictures with small captions have been used to give the audience more of an idea of what will feature later in the magazine. Down the right hand side the colours black and yellow are used once again to point out the main features of the magazines and let the audience know which page their favourite artists will feature. This is common of Kerrang as most of the contents pages follow this layout. In the bottom right corner is an offer of Kerrang delivery in a red box. It has been put in red to attract the audiences attention as an effort to boost sales revenue. Overall, the colour scheme is basic and very typical of Kerrang as this layout and colours has been used in many of their magazines.
