Contents Page- Classical

1. CONTENTS PAGE
RESEARCH

2. LANGUAGE
The language within the contents page is formal, due to the
older audience and is quite advanced eg. Enigma to suit
them. The contents is there to guide the reader to the article
they want. This contents page uses light purple and pinks to
highlight the sub-headings and is bold compared to the rest
of the text. Under each sub-heading there is black smaller
font to give a small amount of information about the article.
Purple and black
font

3. • The number and title are in the same purple font,
purple is used as it symbolizes passion and is the same
colour as the border above the text. There is also pink
headings with the same black straplines for the main
titles like :cover story, opera focus and regulars. There
is no text wrapping used in the contents page and uses
columns instead.

4. REPRESENTATION
• The images are there to represent the genre of
the magazine. This contents page has 4
images to advertise 4 different classical artists
to attract people into reading there article.
Three of the four images are located at the top
of the page in a row all in the same size and
there is then one underneath the border.

5. • All the images are
studio shots, two
close/mid shots and
the other two long
shots. None of the
artists are making eye
contact towards the
camera which
challenges the
convention of a music
magazine.

6. • However, the bright colour’s and different backgrounds
are intriguing. All the images have a one similar colour
background so the artist stands out and they all look
like they have an interaction with a music area and
instrument in the image. The images use iconography
to represent the music type the magazine is focused
on. One example is the violin, which will a recognizable
for the audience. They’re all dressed smartly and
formal to suit the magazine language and genre.

7. TITLE
• The title challenges the convention of a contents page
as it is located about a quarter down the page in a
banner. The banner is the same purple as the text used
further down the page and also the shade doesn't’ clash
with any of the images used.

8. • The text is in white to make it bold and stand out and is
a house style for the magazine. The same white font
and purple is followed on from the front cover and the
publisher has used this colour and font as its classy, a
formal style is used to fit the genre and audience.

9. • The pug is located on the contents page in the banner, in the
same white font. This actually breaks a convention as usually
you would find the date and issue number on the front cover.
This magazine puts the pugs on the contents as the publisher
wants to keep the front cover not crowded or layered. The key
elements are put on the front cover and the rest of the
information is inside.

10. LINKS TO THE FRONT COVER
The contents page is on page 3 and
doesn't’t have much link to the front page
except similar colours which follow through
the whole magazine.
