3. DESIGN AND LAY OUT
The page layout resembles that of a newspaper front
page, with anchoring pictures on the top, and columns
of text underneath. This content page has been designed
with 4 columns.
The name of the magazine, Forbes has been reiterated at
the top, in the same line as 'Contents'. Contents has also
been written prominently in bold letters and in a
professional looking font that gives the page a formal
feel.
'On the cover' has been included in the same line as
well.
The color scheme is pretty minimal - the pop of color in
the page is from the photos and reference numbers .
There is thus more focus on the text.
4. A subscription guide has been given at the corner of the page, containing the address.
Underneath, a footer is also given, carrying the date and the title of the magazine. They
are not very prominent as they do not have much promotional value.
The articles are arranged by their title, sans serif in bold with the article number
attached, followed by a brief description of the article. The format is the same
for all the articles however the way the content is delivered varies, for example,
some of the titles are a play on pop culture references while others are direct
quotations The variety helps the magazine prevent monotony and stay
interesting,
The number in blue serves as a direct link to the article. The anchoring
image serves as the description for the article.

6. DESIGN AND LAYOUT
The design is starkly different from the usual content page
lay outs, which often resemble newspaper columns.
Although, this shoe-featuring-anchoring image is not
uncommon for Harpar's Bazaar, and is actually an
advertisement. It also helps to highlight the fact that it is a
fashion centric women's magazine, so the shoe is a clever
multipurpose photo.The use of the image of the shoe brings
a pop of color to the page and makes it appealing to read.
The name of the magazine is reiterated at the top of the
page, in the same font as on the cover along with a strip
detailing the issue date and name. The articles' list are
written around the shoe.
7. The name of the articles font
style alternates between bold
and regular, is always
capitalised in sans serif -
looking very professional -
and the size of the article
names themselves varies, due
to their importance in terms
of entertainment value.
This contains the credit and details
regarding the cover, in short,
advertising material.
This title, in bold,
informs the reader
of the magazine's
regulars, including
the editor's letter
and contributor
credits. The
numbers next to the
title denote the page
number.
9. DESIGN AND LAYOUT
The typography for the word 'CONTENTS' is very different
from the norm - the word is drawn, rather than written, in the
shape of iced cookies with red and green iced cookies above
and below for aesthetics - due to the fact that it is published in
December, promoting Christmas.
The magazine name is reiterated at the top in its regular font
along with the issue number.
The content list is titled 'In the Know' which is also an
unconventional way of heading content lists. The content page
consists of three columns, with a balance between images and
text. The font chosen is sans serif, and the same throughout
save for the illustrative 'contents' - it is not very snazzy and
possesses a formal look as the focus is to deliver information.
10. This is the part of the magazine's regular features, so it is not given much space
on the page nor description as it a part of every issue and thus not the main
selling point. The numbers illustrate their page number.
These images serve as article descriptors and links to the page numbers -
the purpose of usig photos is to potentially appeal to the readers and to
create more variety in the contents page, so as not to be too cluttered
with words, making it thus easier to naviate
Since this section contains fresh articles every time, the article titles are
then followed with a brief description. The cover photo credit is also given
right below the list, highlighted in orange to make it moreprominent.
