2. A bold red banner to allow
the magazine name and
page title to stand out against
the white background.
The content is written in
small black writing which
stands out against the
white background.
The most important article is
written in red to stand out more
than the other articles. This
colour has connotations of
power.
Red lines to separate each
article and also to
establish a house colour
for the magazine. This
draws the audience’s
attention to the text as the
colour is bold and has
connotations of power.
Three small images are used
at different angles to give
an edgy effect; this relates
to the personal of Q. The
images represent stories
that are within the
magazine and use bright
colours. This attracts the
attention of the audience,
also.
The main image takes
up a large majority of
the contents page in
order to show that this is
a main story. This image
also includes the page
number written in large
bold number so the
audience know what
page to go to
3. The main image represents the
model in a sexual way, her facial
expression and make-up present a
glamorous yet seductive image. Her
lips are parted slightly and her eyes
are using the ‘smize’ pose; this is the
typical pose for females on a
magazine and uses the beauty myth
by Naomi Wolf.
The title of the page uses a
vertical positioning and uses a
sophisticated, feminine font. The
colour is black and bold; this
has connotations of mystery
and dominance. The bold
effect of the text draws in the
attention of the audience and
makes the reader aware of
what the page is presenting.
The main text of the page
uses a simple, black font. This
makes it easy to see and read
against the light background;
the colour creates a house
brand colour as the title is also
black.
The background colour for
this page uses a light pink
gradient effect although you
can see the shadows of the
model.
Her make-up is dramatic
and is extenuated by the
lighting source. The model
(Demi Lovato) is wearing a
white, tight fitting jacket
along with a tassel skirt.
These clothes are not
revealing however remain
to connote sexuality; white
has connotations of
perfection and innocence.
Innocence is a contrast with
how the model looks; giving
the image controversy.
The text is structured into
columns on the right hand
side, this does not cover
the image or draw
attention away from the
model. The subheadings
for the text uses a bigger,
more bold effect. This
emphasises these specific
phrases and dominates
the text below.
4. The main image denotes
Kanye West, a famous
rapper. He has been edited
in a black and white font to
allow the heart shape to
stand out against his jacket.
This draws more attention to
the heart, and the bright
red colour has connotations
of love and power. The
black and white effect also
ties in with the colour
theme.
The model is posing quite
casually with a serious
expression to reflect what
the article may be about.
The title is written in bold,
black lettering to allow it
to stand out against the
light grey background. The
block writing creates a
modern and simplistic
theme to the page.
The ‘V’ in a pale blue
colour stretches across
the background to show
the brand of the
magazine. It also adds a
hint of colour to the
magazine due to the fact
there is very minimal
colour.
The background is a
very light grey which
matches with the
monotone theme. This
creates a simplistic
aesthetic and allows
other aspects to stand
out against the
background.
The article titles and page
numbers are written in
smaller writing. The colour
of the font is black which
allows it to stand out
against the background.
On the bottom of the
page, there is more
information to allow the
reader to gain access to
the company’s website.
