Contents Page - Analysis 1

In The Mix – Contents Page Analyse

With only one image dominating half of the Contents Page, it leaves the other with all the information of the articles and what is in the magazine itself. The image attracts the audience as 50 Cent is one of the most known rappers of the last few years, that and the fact he’s part of one of the main articles in this issue. All the main Artists are labelled in bold, black font as well as being larger than the little information of what the article/page is about beneath it. The font is all the same except from the title which is the original title/masthead of the Magazine so that is a separate Font. Only 3 colours stand out on this page; Black, Red and White – All these colours are bold and link together well, red can be noticeable whether the colour behind it is Black or White, while the B+W clash but commonly work well.  There are no signs of a subscription section on this page, this possibly means that its on the front cover or on another, may be the Magazine doesn’t allow you to subscribe even though it’s a monthly published magazine that could be helpful for readers if they could subscribe. Either way, there isn’t any noticeable subscription section on this Contents Page. Overall, the simplicity of the layout design is useful especially making it easier for the readers to pick out a certain page if need be (the numbers next to the Artists and titles make it easy for audiences to spot out what they want to read) which is something that a contents page is for.
