Content Page Analyse
On a contents page there are certain aspects you expect to see. On this content page there is a mixture of both pictures and text.
The pictures on the content page are spread across the top of the page. This is effective because readers/the audience usually look at the top left hand corner first and that is where the images are. The images used on the content page are used inside the magazine, this can be effective or it won't be effective because people will of seen the pictures already and will be bored of the pictures and not read the article the image corresponded to. However this can be a good thing because the pictures give little insiders on what will be inside the magazine and the audience will get excited and will want to read the magazine. The are 3 pictures that are spread across the page. There is 1 main picture which is dormant from the rest. This is because the picture is bigger in size than the rest of the pictures. This instantly draws attention to this certain picture. There are two pictures that are in black and white and the other one is in colour. This gives the impression that the magazine is classy, the use of editing is at a high quality, and that the magazine is professional. These pictures are all relevant to different articles inside the magazine. It also suggest that these pictures are the most important articles inside the magazine.
Underneath/across from the different pictures there are captions about the pictures. Captions give little more information about the picture but not giving away to much. These captions give you specific page numbers you can turn to, to read the article. This is helpful because the readers can just turn that page whereas if you didn't have the help then you could spend time trying to find the page number. The captions are different colours from the certain picture. For example two captions are in black whereas the other one is in white. The white and one black caption is effective because you can clearly read it and it blends in with the background, however the other one the background is grey/black and the caption is black. People won't be able to read it clearly then the other.
The title of the content page is just called 'Content'. This is simple and straight to the point. This shows that this magazine doesn't need an amazing title they can just use a simple idea and build on it. The font of the title is Sans Serif. This means that the letters have points coming from them. The font size of the title is not big or bold. The reason why the font size isn't big is because they wanted there main aspect of the content page to be about the pictures not the title. The colour of the title is white. This goes well with the content page because the main colour of the content page is white. Behind the title there is a strip of red. This makes the title stand out more and is more eye catching.
Underneath the title there is a small column. This is where the information about what will be inside the magazine. The column makes the content page more neater and tidy. This gives a good reputation on the magazine and the publishers. There are two different font colours, there is red and black. They have used the colour red because there is a red strip that is behind the title. The red font catches the readers eyes because red is an eye catching colour. Red also means anger but it can also means love. The black font is a traditional colour to use on a content page. The font size of the content page is small but still readable. The red font is the title of each important article in the magazine whereas the black font gives you extra information about the article. It gives you information about what to expect every month and what to feature in this issue of the magazine.
Down the side of every article it gives you page numbers on which you can turn to and read the article. This is effective because it saves time trying to find the right page number.
The colour scheme of this content page is;
- Red
- White
- Black
