1. A contents page is found in magazines and
newspapers
Where it basically shows what is in the
magazine or newspaper most use the
numbering process for those who are
reading it to search out their favourite
article/page. I am analysing the contents
page of a magazine that is called ‘academy magazine contents’
very basic and easy to understand.
Once you open the contents page the first thing that catches
your eye, are the vast amount of photos laid out vertically
down the left side of the page. The images make the page
more appealing and it is important to include a contents page
as it’s vital in making the readers experience more enjoyable
by searching for certain stories or information with ease.
The layout of the cover page is simple, it has topics going down
the right hand side labelling what is in each page and what
topic it is under, they are labelled with numbers for what page
they can be found on which makes it easier to find what you
are looking for instead of flicking through pages of rubbish you
can just go straight to your desired page. They laid out the
page so well it’s not flooded with useless information, it has a
few eye catching photos to attract the reader’s attention and
the writing on the right is colour labelled, the page numbers

2. are brown and the writing on the page is coloured in yellow
giving us an idea of their house style. It seems to be informal
which for teenagers is a bonus making it more appealing and
less of a burden to read, to the writing colour, to the layout of
the pictures it gives the whole thing a casual look to and page
isn’t filled with mountains of useless information, just a few
pictures and the relevant information. The images on the page
are basic on pupils are the school making it relatable to the
pupils reading the magazine, they kept the writing plain and
simple with a bright colour to make it sand out making its an
overall enjoyable experience.
The mode of address of this magazine is informal in its
appearance and speaks to mainly the teenagers (pupils) which
shows that they thought of their audience before publishing
aiming at the pupils of the school, this shows this magazine is
based mainly for the pupils and less teachers and parents
making the pupils feel important and respected enough to
have a magazine published to keep them informed.
