Contents Page
Main Image- The artist is crouched down and appeared to be looking at the text indicating to the reader to look at the text.
These images of artists are suitable as they show what's features in the magazine
The title ‘CONTENTS` is suitable because it clearly `informs’ (Katz) the reader of exactly what the page offers.
The overall layout of the page is quite crowded, however the point of this page is to inform the reader of what the magazine consists of.
The page numbers shown are the main articles that feature in the magazine and the ones that will draw peoples attention
The ident denotes the establishment of the magazine and keeps the theme running throughout
Double Page Spread
The main image is Placed on the right hand side of the page and takes up most of the page. It is a fun bold image and represents the POP culture.
One quote is highlighted to draw the readers attention this is known as the pull quote.
The main heading is in pink. This is key as it shows the character of the feature artist (Nicki Minaj). The colour pink is associated as a delicate colour that means sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, feminine, and tenderness.
Drop capital- carries the theme from the main heading.
The main colours used in the page are pink black and writer. This gives it a bubbly, girly look.
Stand First
Contents Page- Conclusion
On the contents page I will ‘repeat’ the use (Steve Neale 1980) of pictures that show what is featured in the magazine as it is eye-catching for the reader.
I will also ‘repeat’ the way they have used a main image in the centre of the page. This is because I think it adds character.
Finally I will ‘repeat’ the use of subheadings on the contents page as it gives the reader a clear idea where to look for certain articles
Double Page Spread- Conclusion
I intend to ‘repeat’ the use of the pull quote as I feel its an effective way to draw the readers attention.
I will also ‘repeat’ the use of the large main image on the right hand side. This is because I think it is effective as it joins the bold text and image across both pages
I will also ‘repeat’ the use of the drop capital as I feel it is a good way to carry the theme and colour from the masthead down.
