Textual analysis

 The name of the magazine is DRUMMER which is written as a big mast head near the top of the page this is very clearly the name of the magazine because it is the biggest piece of text on the page. Having an image of a drum kit at the side of the name makes it clear what type of drumming the magazine is about and it also makes the page seem busier. It also has the date of the issue and contents written above the mast head which is the next thing you see because it is big and bold like the mast head. The features heading down the left hand side makes it easy for people to fin the pages they are interested in because the title of the page is there and snippets of info from the page as well. Also they way in which the images are set out across the page works very well because it makes the page look very interesting this will also help readers in finding pages about favourite bands as well because they see the images of a band member and then it has the number in the top left corner of the screen. There is also a section about the bands that regularly feature in the magazine and once again has the page number at the side of the band names.
