competitor: Smash hits contents page





Analysis of contents page

Smash Hits where a big magazine many years ago but folded in 2006 now they have released a one off lady gaga special magazine. If it was a hit with the audience then smash hits could be in luck and be back in business so it is a big competitor to my magazine.

The contents page is very straight forward and simple. The use of pictures is similar to
billboard and are numbered so you know where to find the story behind the picture this is a great part of the page and could be useful to take into consideration when designing my magazine.

There is a welcome back sign which catches your eye when turning the page and then below is a letter from the editor about why this unique issue came about. This is good as it gives old fans a straight forward answer of what they want to know.

The colour scheme is red white and black. Red in my point of view has two meanings love and hate which could sum up this issue you either love lady gaga or hate her and this magazine is all about her.

The target audience is mainly fans of lady gaga mostly girls who want to be like her i.e it is shown by saying on the contents page 'how to be lady gaga'.
