Glamour Contents Page Analysis

2. {

3. The title of the magazine ‘Glamour’ is
located at the very top of the contents page
and it’s typography is sans serif so it looks
sophisticated and classy. The colours used
in this content page stand out very clearly
and make the content page look fun and
energetic. The colours used are green,
yellow and blue. These colours all have
positive and happy connotations (yellow is
associated with happiness and joy, green is
associated with money, blue is associated
with confidence).
The month is situated at the top
very clearly and is accompanied
by the link to the magazine’s
website.
The main photo on the contents page
dominates most of the page as it is the
largest feature on the page. The model’s
(Emma Watson) pose and body language is
quite simple but yet effect. She is gazing
directly at the audience and her facial
expression looks friendly but also
mysterious. Emma is dressed in
fashionable clothes and has dark eye that
the monochrome effect on the photograph
make looks mysterious and edgy. Emma is
also used for celebrity endorsement,
because she is a very famous and
influential woman who many females
aspire to be like.
Accompanying the main image
of Emma is anchorage text that
indicates an article about her. It
also informs the audience of the
page number they can find the
article on.
The main column of the contents
page is the features sections, which
showcases the main features and
articles that can be found inside the
magazine, and also the page
number that they can be found on.
It also shows a brief description
about each of the articles.
The colour pink is also used on the contents page, which
breaks the three colour palette rule. Pink however has
positive connotations just like the three colours used for
the title of the magazine. It has connotations for love,
passion and is stereotypically a feminine colour which
relates to the target audience of the magazine which is
women.
