Contents Page Analysis

Layout
The layout of the contents page is very outstanding and attractive. Mainly because of the striking image of a well known music artist, but also because of the structure of the layout. There is not too much text involved and the subheadings inform the reader of the most essential pages of the magazine which is therefore effective as the reader has obtained what they are most interested to know about. The colours are very well combined and are also very stylish which conveys the overall message that this is a fashion/music magazine.

Images
The main image on this contents page is of famous R&B artist Ciara wearing a leotard top and shown in a very sexual position which is focusing on her legs and therefore this would certainly attract a males attention. Females would also be fascinated with this image as it would lead them to desire a body with perfect features such as Ciaras. The reason why this eye-catching image is used is so to grab the attention of the audience as many people tend to skip the contents page. However, it is a very useful page as it informs the reader of the essential features of the magazine as well as where to find the fashion pages, which again is for the target audience who are mainly young females with an interest in style and fashion.
