Layout
This contents page has quite a simplistic layout using a Rule of Thirds column structure with a banner taking up 2 sections of that. There is 1 main image in the middle of the page with small text underneath; the border around those separates it from either sides. The subscription box in the corner shows it is not an important section in the magazine but still must be noticeable for it to be on the contents page. Sub headings on the right side tell the reader the different sections in the magazine giving them a chance of faster research also with the index and page numbers on the left side taking up the whole column.
House Style
The masthead from the front cover is placed on this page also: Red, black and white showing that this gives recognition of NME keeping the same house style of the masthead through out. All the headings are bold, the ones on the right side have a background to them which is black and the white font stands out in this. In the index section the page stories are in red and the numbers are in black all in a white background; this al relates to keeping the same house style to match the masthead keeping that theme. A drop cap is used in the middle section with the text under the image to tell the reader that that is the main story on that page being under the image also.
Subscription
The subscription box stands out on the contents page because it separates itself from the house style using yellow font, a different font style and size. There is also 2 images of previous NME front covers to let the reader know that it still relates to NME. Words such as “Subscribe” “An Issue” are big and bold to show the reader that they need to be seen by them due to it not being very direct.
Layout
A very simple layout: the 1st page is filled with one image of Dizzee Rascal letting the reader know the article is about him. On the 2nd page there is the by/headline which takes up half of the page, under it is an introduction to the article and then the article is split into 4 columns. All of this content on the 2nd page is on a watermarked image. There is also a Tag in the top right corner of the 2nd page which says “Dizzee” – not very formal.
House Style
Headline – Very bold and some of the words have different font sizes such as “Tags” and “Riches” being bigger to represent the life of Dizzee rascal also relating to the images shown how he is tagging but wearing very stylish clothing at the same time. Text – A drop cap is used to start the article keeping the same whole style as the contents and the rest of the font is very small.
Tag – The tag in the top right corner of the 2nd page says “Dizzee” this informally tells us that the article is about him other than the main image, Being informal it also shows us that Dizzee doesn’t always have to be a serious person
Main Image
This image relates to Dizzee Rascals life majorly. He’s sneaky look and action of head turning over the shoulder is suggesting the target audience being quite young, also with the wall background of all the taggings relating to street youth. Dizzee is wearing a red jacket, this suggests that he had a dangerous life. This makes the reader feel much closer with Dizzee Rascal giving them an idea of his childhood and showing how he has matured through music.
