Magazine Contents Page Analysis #1


Magazine Contents Page Analysis #1

This content page is very informative and clear for the reader. It has obvious guidelines, directions and page numbers to find a page they’re looking for without confusion. This will make the audience feel assured and rely on the magazine, possibly ensuring a greater chance of future purchases. The typical conventions of a contents page are applied to this page, such as page numbers, feature headings in a bold text, captions and images relating to the magazine.

The sub-titles used are bold to make the article more obvious of what it’s about; it makes it easier for the reader to identify the title to the description. The descriptions/sub-titles are not bold and are in a smaller font, not giving too much away about the content, but pulling the reader in and urging them to read further.

The images are in an organized shape and layout to represent the mood. This shows the reader it’s a stylish, professional magazine. There’s also page numbers clearly marked in a contrasting color on the each picture to direct the audience to more knowledge on that frame.This reassures the readers that everything they need to know is clearly marked so they're not on their own.The images are also there for variety; to keep a reader entertained instead of having too much text.

The title of the "contents" itself is small, yet it's on a different coloured block, contrasting from the white background to make it appear more significant.The font is also different from the rest of the contents so it further emphasizes the title for the readers to know what specific page they're on.
