magazine contents research

In my opinion i strongly dislike this contents page, firstly i believe that there is to much writing for a contents page which means it is more likely to go of the point of the magazine and maybe explain in a bit to much depth what is going to be in the magazine. Also the colour scheme and layout dont compliment each other, they should stick to a solid colour scheme and not alter it around to much, especially yhr yellow and orange placed down the left hand side of the page, takes the focus away froim the centre image.
The images also do not interest me at all, they occur very plain and boring! they also dont represent the theme of a music magazine it looks more like a housing magazine rather than a music magazine, although they may be trying to represent a bright and interesting vibe of the magazine it just doesnt occur.
