Contents Page Analysis

 

 

This contents page has very simple colours that are red, white, grey, black and a small amount of pink and blue. The background is a calm and relaxing creamy colour with hints of grey for the shadows, which is the complete opposite to the model who is wearing a dress which is sliver, which is very feminine therefore more appropriate for a female audience and stands out from the cream background along with her golden belt which, gives the idea of glamour, and a romantic looking colour that is red on the bottom half of her dress which shows us that with this outfit she, the main reason that you would want to buy this magazine, showing that the main story is about her, which means that she is more than likely to be on the front cover of the magazine too. She is holding a white and red mushroom, which clashes with the background and matches the model's outfit. The mushroom is blown up, giving it a look that makes it too big for a normal mushroom, showing that the article about the woman is interesting like a fantasy such as Alice in Wonderland. The Mast Heading "Contents" is in a bold black which matches the model's hair colour and also draws in attention so that the audience knows where to look to find a page in the magazine and to tell them about the contents inside the magazine. The Subheadings and information under them are black linking with the model and Mast Heading and draws in the attention of the audience because of how dark the colour is compared to the pale background colour. There is some text that is not black. The colours chosen are a dark pink which is good for a female audience, and a bright blue. Both differ from the other colours to make people look at them as these will provide important information about the magazine.

 

The model is holding the mushroom away from her so that she is still centre of attention, showing who this magazine is about, as she stands in the centre of the page. She has no text overlapping her, showing how important she is this issue of the magazine. The mushroom however, overlaps some of the Mast heading showing some importance to the object, making the person holding it even more interesting, therefore making the main article based on her, more interesting to read about. The subheadings and main information are all on the right side of the magazine, leaving plenty of space to keep the model as the main focus of the page, but in a place where it is still easy to see and look up what in is where inside. The information about the photograph taken of the model is on the left side, out of the way of the model but still noticeable for poeple who want to read it.

 

The font of the Mast Heading is chucky and more modern looking, making it better for a younger audience and is in a bold colour, drawing attention to it, so the people know what page they are looking at. The Subheadings are easy to read, and is also in black are also easy to notice and read next to the cream background.
