Contents Page Analysis


The magazine does use images; the images used in the magazine are very neat and organized, they are in order of the magazine which means it is in range with the text. The images have been constructed in a line which I think looks very good because they are all lopsided so it makes the contents page look more interesting. I assume from the contents page that it is going to be for teenagers because of who is in the images, there are young, hot females and males in the images so that will attract the audience.
The colours that are used are all different colours, it is multicoloured [blue, yellow, white, red, orange, black, grey] which attracts the audience more because teenagers like bright colours and I think this magazine done it well, the font styles also draw in the audience because it is very bold and bright, and some of the fonts are in different colours so they stand out from the background. Also some of the text is slanted so that also stands out from the rest of the contents page and it makes the audience want to buy the magazine when they look at the contents page, and if it looks the same as the front cover than they will definitely buy it. The information is organized so that the text is in line with the images; they are neatly organized so that the image is next to the text so we know what image they are talking about for example the main image the text is underneath to explain why he is going to be in the magazine, it is saying what he says so maybe he is going to be in an interview.
There are promotional features in the contents page; there is a section where you can get 20p issues for 2months, I think this is a good idea because it is promoting the magazine very well, and it will get the reader to buy this and to try this promotional feature.
The magazine logo is on the page, it is in the top left hand corner. It is not very dominant which I think is an issue because the logo has to be big, I understand that it is the contents page and it is not that important on this page but it still needs to be dominant so the reader is attracted to not only the front cover but the contents page so they can see what is going to be in the magazine.
