Contents Page Analysis 3

This contents page explodes from head to foot in bright, young and refreshing colours, rather than dark, harsh and ugly colours, like you would see in an article about a horror movie. These gentle colours all suggest youth, and are very girly, focusing on "pretty pinks" showing that this magazine is for a young female audience up to teenagers, with a colourful, yet simple look. It is trying to keep as simple as possible which is ideal for this type of audience since young people want thinks to be quick and easy to understand. The yellow is upbeat, sunny and full of energy, while the green is refreshing, new looking and pleasant in overall appearance. The red is dangerous, yet full of energy and full of character and the blue is innocent and pure and think is bubbly, and cheeky. All of these is what describes a typical girl, especially in the media. None of these colours are suited to a male who, may be seem as fresh and cheeky, but also rough and messy so word use darker colours like darker green, blues and browns, but light colours too, if it was for a younger male. The white background blank yet innocent, pure and young, like the pale blue and is widely used behind black text which stands out from the brighter colours so it is far easier to see the information to guide the reader to each page. Each section is connected to a section on the magazine like a key to make the magazine contents page easier to use. The model near the bottom of the page is larger than the other images suggesting that she may the main person in this article which may explain why red is used a lot - to match her outfit.

Most of the font is the right, making it easier to find while the images are on the left to link to each article. All the numbers match the section it is in and set out as if they are in text boxes inset of all being spread out to avoid the page becoming too complex to the reader. The most important information appears to be in a different coloured box to attract attention and point out what should be read about and point out special features in the magazine like, a competition for example.

The Mast Heading are in bigger, thicker and more curved text which is easy to read an spot out form the other texts to identify the title of the page and also looks more girly. There is lots of curved, fancy looking which would be inappropriate for males. The Subheadings and the rest of the fonts are smaller but easier to read for people with poorer eyesight, and so it is better to find out about each article.
