consistency of the theme of music. The heading is very effective because it
is a very large size with bold, white font which stands out from the dark

Text – There is quite a lot of text although the
magazine condenses it down by having the font a
smaller size. The font type complements the image
as it is quite feminine. The text in the features list
just adds additional information that the reader may
wish to know about and that is included inside the
magazine. It is also very small but works well to fill in
the gaps of the background. It is positioned on the
right hand side of the page so it doesn’t take the
focus away from the main image.
Main Image – The main image takes up the
majority of the page and is the main feature of
this contents page. Her legs are shaped as a V
which shows the link to Vibe magazine. This also
links to the logo located near the heading. The
image is very large and on a slant which makes
it more interesting. Because there is also only
one image, it makes a change from other
conventional magazines as they normally
include a range of images to inform the reader
what will be inside in a visual way.
