Now to talk about the main headline and image of this contents page, it focuses on an iconic venue that is going to come to an end.

As well, they simply state all bands that will be featured in this week’s magazine, very important to customers as they want to check if their favourite bands are in and if they are not it will more than likely be pointless to buy for them.

Tyler, you have deconstructed three contents pages with a good level of detail and potential readings of the design considerations, and how these appeal to the target audience. My tip for future deconstructions would be to compare and contrast your chosen texts - how are they similar / different, and what aspects might inform your own product.
