Contents Page Analysis: You

Note to the Examiner: Unfortunately it was very difficult to find school magazines with contents pages, so I have analysed other contents pages instead.


There is one main image with text written over the plainer part (background). The background is a shade of white and so the black text stands out well. The main image of the woman is separate from text so that it is clear and easy to read.
The colours used are plain and simple for class and elegance. A similar colour backdrop has been choosen according to her hair colour, this helps the black of the dress and text to stand out.
Over the word "Contents" is the date and website address so that readers know if they are reading the newest  issue or not and to let them know that there is a website that they can access.
The text is separated by subheadings including ‘features’ and ‘regulars’. This makes it easy to read and navigate.
There is white text over her black dress which is probably about the feature's article that she is in. This is a taster for the reader and will make them want to read more.
