The document discusses the design elements of a magazine contents page. It notes that a white background is used to make the text and images stand out. The masthead is in bold, bright colors and large font to attract readers' attention. Images are used strategically, with the main image showing a fashionable dress to appeal to the female target audience. Text uses a consistent style and color scheme throughout for a clean, organized look.
1. A white background is
used to make the
picture and text stand
out and so everything
can be seen.
The masthead is written
in bright colours with a
bold font and it is in
block capitals to make
the article stand out and
appeal to readers.
The model’s photo will
create eye contact with
the reader which may
draw them in.
The writer hasn't used a
colour scheme as they
have a few different
bright colours but that is
the style of the article
and it makes it stand
out.
The image of the model is in
black and white to make it
stand out as other parts of
the article are bright colours
the image contrasts with
them.
The text on the article
follows a pattern as it is
written in the same style.
The text is only a short
summary of what is going
to be on each page but it
is there to inform
readers.
2. Vogue means a prevailing fashion style at a particular
time. The head mast literally tells you what the magazine
is about in the contents. That’s why it is also the biggest
text on the page because it’s the main priority. The font is
black to stand out against the white background.
The main image on
the contents page
shows a woman
wearing a very
peculiar, yet
fashionable dress. This
is how you know the
target audience is
women because a
woman is wearing the
dress, and it’s
women’s clothing.
The text in the article is
black throughout. Again
that matches the colour
scheme. It’s also really
small because there is a
lot of text to fit on the
page.
The models facial expression
is very serious, and her body
posture is very confident
and exaggerated which
makes the clothing she is
wearing look more
attractive to wear, making
the audience want to buy
the clothes which is the
main point of the magazine.
The selling line of the contents page is very
small in comparison to the other main text
on the page because it isn't the main priority,
and is only a small amount of information.
The sub-headings of the text are in bold red to stand out to
the main text so you know it’s a sub-heading. Also, the red
matches the colour scheme of the contents page with the
red dress etc.
3. The sections are
separated by different
fonts and large number to
make it easy for the
reader to find the page for
the most interesting story.
The editor keeps the same theme throughout
as it makes it simpler and easier on the eyes.
The subtitles in bold are followed
by a small paragraph that is used
to describe the story and draw
the reader in to want to read
more. The use of red draws the
audience towards the main
contents on the page.
One picture is used for the
background to keep it simple,
the image is also used to
promote a main story in the
subtitles.
4. There is a picture of the
magazine in the top right
corner which shows the
reader what issue the
magazine is.
The page is organised into
sections and is clearly laid
out which may mean the
magazine is an efficiently
run magazine with an
audience of organised
people.
The picture of the
magazine in the contents
page makes the magazine
look more professional
and gives the reader an
insight to what people are
going to be in the
magazine.
Having features and reviews
separated in an organised
fashion gives the impression
of a professional look
The colour scheme could be a connotation of Britain
as it is a British magazine.
