Contents Page Analysis-1

A Vibe contents page is normally spread over a few pages; this page is associated to a Master Page. A contents page does not contain much information as it only highlights the simple but valuable information featured in the main articles. However, the information written on the contents page is very appealing as the magazine hopes to attract many readers to read the main articles. This page informs the reader on the regular features and fashion which are in the magazine.
The large “V” in the background reinforces the magazine name “vibe”. This is a typical feature seen on every contents page of the vibe magazine. The word “Contents” is split up into three sections, this helps to divide up the page as one half is about what the magazine contains and all the written text on the right of the page and the other half of the page consist of a picture of a seductive woman. Splitting up the word “contents” and keeping it in large blocked white letters draws attention to an audience. The subtle use of black gray and white complements each other creating an almost seamless feel where all the colours are almost one this is very affective as it helps the page to flow as one.
The image is of a woman named Ciara who is a famous R&B singer, she is lying at the bottom of the page making her the last thing we see this could suggest she is the most important aspect of the page and she is what we as the reader are supposed to remember. Her image is also quite large and seductive creating the effect that she is dominating the page, as all the attention is focused on her.  Audiences may see this image and as a result aspire to be like her as she is fashionably dressed.
