Semiotic Analysis of contents page

The contents page informs the reader of what is in the magazine in detail and what page to find it on. The largest picture is placed on the left, with an artist revealing its bum, whilst looking cheekily at the camera, this conotes that they are intreguing and interesting artists. The tatoos are stereotypical to the audience that the magazine is aimed at. The coverline with the picture says 'sex offers and body art' this is playing on the slogan 'sex, drugs and rock and role', it is juxtapositioned with the text where the artists bum cheek is showing to further add to this and create more suspension on what gossip the magazine holds. A bold yellow has been used in order to attract the readers eye to the most important information such as the page numbers. The names of the bands/artists are in bold black, this is because black is seen as a tough, powerful colour. The contents page itself has a white background, this is so that the texts show up better.
