Music Magazine Contents Page

Unusually this contents page from karrang has a large amount of space used for a picture of the band and a basic summery of the story included in the magazine. The contents page itself is designed to look like the page has been ripped in half, exposing the black background on the left. The font on this side is white, red and yellow; while its black on the right where the background is white.

There seems to be more pictures on this contents page, as there are usually either one or two, but here there is four.
