| 3. Vibe Magazine (Analysis of Contents page.) |
This Contents page is for Vibe magazine.
The title of the page 'Contents' is conventionally at the top of the page in bold letters, white and bold capital letters are used to contrast with the grey background. This is to make the title of the page stand out, so they audience are aware of exactly what they are looking at.
There is a large image of a celebrity (probably featured in the magazine) across the bottom of the page, the woman directs her eye-line straight towards the camera which attracts the reader. The celebritys outfit links with the same colours as the background also her hair is black which again contrasts with the background and a colour scheme is clearly black and white. Her legs are also cleverly positioned in a 'v' shape in line with the outline of a 'v' in the background of the page, this is a reminder that the magazine is called 'Vibe'. The letter is presented in quite a subtle way by using a thin white outline so it is able to be seen but doesn't overpower the title of the page. The celebrities heels are also pointing towards the top of the page which could be done purpously to draw the readers eye towards 'contents' the object of the page.
The writing on the page uses fairly informative language, there are sub-headings letting the reader know what the magazine will contain, and page numbers at the beginning of each paragraph allowing the reader to know what is on each page. There isn't too much writing on the page which makes it clear and easy to read.
