Contents Page Analysis

This contents is very simple, with both its layout and with the colours it uses. Though I find the colours may be too basic and make the magazine look slightly boring and plain. It is split into subheadings, which makes it a lot easier to navigate aroiund and also makes the magazine seem like it has more content- so they feel it is value for money. The font of the title and the subheadings is reoccuring, making the page look more professionally put-together, though the list of articles is only down a small part of the page, with photos filling most of the space. These photos refer to the articles, with the page numbers embedded to make the page look more exciting and less tedious to look for the main cover stories.

A basic 'classy' look is obviously trying to be achieved in this contents, with a basic colour scheme of black and white. The subheaders help easily navigate the readers eye, and a posh, 'high-class' font it used to yet again redefine a 'classy' edge. This is juxtaposed against picture of the woman scantily clad with her bare legs in the air, the main focal point on the page. I personally find it takes over too much of the page space and is a bit over-done for just the contents. The Vibe magazine's logo is also a main feature on the top part of the page to constantly remind the reader what they are reading and add advertisement if anyone see's the page and wants to read it.

The contents page inkeeps with the magazine's colour scheme of white, black and yellow with a recurring font for all of the titles and subheadings. The subheadings help to keep it organised and easier to follow as a reader. I like the way many photos are used and are all linked to the page number it refers to, with some having a bit of added information to describe what the article is mainly about- so the reader doesn't have to waste time searching for the appropriate page from a big list or through the magazine itself. Though interesting, the quote seems a bit out of place and seems to just be used for filling a gap instead of for a real reason.
