Analysis of contents page

This contents page is limited with 4 colours, Gold, Black, Red and white. The Gold is used entirely on the magazine’s name – ‘’ICONS’’ Perhaps this is trying to establish the importance of the word and the magazine, because Gold is a highly favoured colour often associated with Wealth and Fame. Red is used alongside black most of the time on this contents page, most probably because the colour blends very well with one another. The numbers are coloured red and alongside the contents of what is in each page which is in black. The Title of the page is not very dominant, but it is clear that this is a contents page. The word Contents is cleverly translated in to the words ‘’Departments’’ Showing how different this magazine is. The term ‘’Departments’’ is often used in clothing shops. So therefore the title ‘’Departments’’ further implies the associated of the magazine to ‘’fashion and Lifestyle’’ and the contents of the magazine. The words ‘‘Premiere Issue’’ also implies that this issue of the magazine is important. White text is used at the top with a thick black bar behind to support the colouring of the white text. The text ‘’CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD STARS & LIFESTYLES’’ also shows what the contents of the magazine is. The model on the right hand side of this contents page seems to be very fashionable, with also white and black clothing to go along with the theme of the page. Her positioning works very well with the page, because they have been able to use clever ideas such as under her arm which is holding the umbrella. ‘’WHO’S YOUR INFLUENCE?’’ with the number page on it. Clearly the woman may be some sort of influence upon people, and the magazine questions the readers.
