and bold adding effect of the
magazines genre and memorability
so you can remember it easily. It is
bold but simplistic making it easier
to read than the cover page
making the reader aware it is
meant to understood
The model is dressed in a “punky”
way to keep the magazines genre
constant on the contents page. The
model is pulling a face suggesting
that the genre is reckless and ruthless
to social norms which is what rock is
all about.
The colour scheme is blue, black and
white corresponding to what the
model is wearing so the genre and
message is easily flowing through
the page

is on the bottom right conventionally
indicating that it is the rest of the
content that is a priority on this page

medium, bold and white showing the
recklessness of the rock genre as it is
not subtle like most contents pages it
puts emphasis showing that it is
meant to be viewed.

emphasis that it is the contents page
and is more of a subtle page than the
rest in the magazine. It is in navy bold
font to fit in with the colour scheme
as well as being easy to read.

on the main character of this
magazine.
The colour scheme is baby blue,
black and beige to add a natural
simple less significant effect to
the contents page so it will be
easy to turn over as well as read.

effects of the hair colour. It is small and
simplistic to hint on the genre being that
way or laid back type.

genre and target audience of pop music.

which helps catch the audiences eye.

colourful clothes holding a
mushroom specifying lively contents

add emphasis on the main subject of

subjective.

left of the page separating it from the
rest of the contents showing its
significance on the cover page. It is on
