2. Colour Scheme
The colour scheme for this contents page is pink, white, blue with
accents of black. The colour pink connotes love and romance and
girliness. White connotes cleanliness and purity. Blue connotes
calmness and faith. Black connotes intelligence. All of these things
will attract the target audience – as well as the fact these are popular
colours for this age range.
The Heading
The heading of this contents page (‘We Love This…’) is situated at the
top of the page in big, bold, black letters. This will capture the
readers attentions and then invite them to read the rest of the page
as the sentence is not quite finished, and almost leaves the audience
anticipating the end of the sentence. There is another heading
further down the page showing the page numbers with their
corresponding article titles. This heading (‘Inside This Month…’) is
written the same typography as the main heading. Again, it ends with
an ellipsis drawing the audience in.

3. The Features and Subheads
The features of this magazine are situated underneath the editors note.
Unlike some other contents pages, the features are not the main focus
of the page. The features are written in alternating colours of black and
pink so that each feature can be easily distinguished from one another.
There are no pictures as apart of the features giving it a professional
and polished look. The page numbers are in a bigger font than the
subheads so that it can be clearly seen. The subheads have slang used
in them and are written in informal language – making them more
relatable to the target audience. The subheads have, also, mentioned
people who the target audience will look up to – Union J, Josh
Hutcherson, Lawson, One Direction, Joey Essex, Conor Maynard and
Rihanna – to catch the readers attention. The subheads do not have a
heading or title.

4. Dominant Image and Sub Images
The Dominant Image on this page is of The Saturdays. Each of
the girls in the band are pulling a silly or amusing face, meaning
that it will catch the audiences attention. They are, also, making
eye contact with the audience forming a direct mode of
address. The Sub Images are of different celebrities who are
featured in the magazine and one of front cover of the
magazine. The majority of the images are of posters that are
included in the magazine. These images will grab the
audience’s attention and entice them to read the rest of the
magazine. Four of the images have their corresponding page
number.
Sub Heads
Some of the images have a sub head underneath them, giving a
meaning to the picture and an anchor to the article/feature
that they are apart of. Some of the subheads are pull quotes
from the article that they are apart of. The subheads have been
selected so that they are relatable to the target audience and
will grab their attention.

5. Editors Note
The editors note is written in a plain black font that is typical of a
typed document – giving an official feel to the note. However, this is
contrasted against by the fact that the editor has hand signed her
name with an ‘x’. The editors note is written in an informal/chatty
way so that the audience feels comfortable reading it. It is, also,
very relatable to the way that they would speak with their friends.
The Masthead
The masthead of the magazine is a logo, this has been placed in the
top right-hand corner of the contents page, keeping in theme with
the front cover.
Web-Address and Page Number
The web address is in the bottom right-hand corner of the page
with the page number. The web address is there so that the
audience can visit the website.
