2. The main purpose of a
contents page is to
inform the reader of
what is involved inside
the magazine for
example the
advertisements and
what articles are inside.
This contents page
correlates with the colours
used on the actual front
cover. Such as the use of
yellow, blue and white.
This magazine
contents page also
contains the
number one hits
that are in the
charts, this is a
common feature
throughout Billboard
magazine and is
often posted
weekly and down
the left hand side of
the contents page.
The page is split in half and down one side
to highlight the main elements of this
magazine. It’s also uses block colours to
highlight the subtitles.
The contents page title is clearly written across the top of the
contents page, simply to say what this section of the magazine is
focused on.
The contents page, like all
typical conventions of a
contents magazine, as it
has more than one image
throughout the contents
page to advertise the
different stories and
advertisements throughout
the magazine.
The main story
throughout the
magazine is shown
through the largest
image which is placed
in the centre with the
largest subtitles beside
it.
There is no bar
code on the
contents page.

3. This contents page is
different to the first
contents page as
this is more to
represent rock and
roll as this magazine
represents this music
genre. I know that
this is that particular
genre due to the
images that are
used.
Throughout this contents
page there are not as
many subtitles used
which could highlight
that the magazine
doesn’t have as many
articles and
advertisements inside.
The central image
emphasises the main
feature article throughout
the music magazine and
it also highlights how to
magazine discusses past
and present artists as the
image is in black and
white which could
indicate it being in the
past and discussing past
artists.
However this contents page doesn’t have a title to determine that it is
the contents page which isn’t a common feature as most contents
pages have what they are.
There is also a larger
subtitles which emphasises
the main feature article
that is inside the music
magazine. This could
represent what the
magazine genre is.
There is two main
colours used
throughout this
contents page and
continues this theme
throughout the front
cover and the rest of
the magazine.
Two of the page numbers are enlarged and made bigger to emphasis
them. This indicates that the main feature articles and stories are placed
on these particular pages.

4. This contents page for
classical music magazine
also uses a similar colour
scheme as on the front
cover. It uses red and white
much like the front cover of
the music magazine.
This contents page primarily
focuses more on the images
rather than the context of
what's inside the magazine.
The page is split in to two
main parts, one being the
images and the second
being the content of the
magazine.
Each of the images has a
subheading directly on the
image which correlates with
the typical conventions of a
contents page as it tells you
the page in which the
article is on as well as which
it is about.
There is no bar code placed on the contents page as it is on the
front cover.
The writing is very small but includes the page number and
what’s on that particular page. Plus a main subtitle is
includes.
The main image on this
contents page is more than
likely to highlight the main
two page article in this
magazine.
The three main images
used in the top section of
this contents page
emphasis what the main
genre of this magazine
which is classical music.
Each image represents a
different genre of a
different century of music.
As one image is in black
and white, one is of an
older man and one is of a
younger woman which
represents each century.

5. This contents page is clearly for
a younger generation and is
mainly targeted for younger
audience and primarily girls.
This is emphasised by the use of
colours and animation used
throughout to appeal to that
particular audience.
Rather than just having a simple title that explains that it is the
contents page I has a title that still defines that it is a contents
page as it shows it is inside the magazine although it doesn’t
have a contents title.
The front cover of the entire
magazine is placed in the
top left hand corner of the
full contents page and
where all of the specific
stories and advertisements
that are on the cover are
found inside the magazine.
There are a lot of lifestyle
features in this magazine which
is what appeals to young
teenage girls which is the
target audience for this
magazine.
The colours used throughout
this contents page are
stereotypically associated with
the teenage girls that this
magazine targets. The pinks
and yellows correlate with the
theme of this magazine.
There is also a lot of images
used on this content page
which is a typical convention
of a contents magazine as it
promotes other stories inside.
The use of ‘One Direction’ in the bottom right hand corner invites
some of the teenage girls to pick up this magazine as some
genres pick up magazine just to see the band inside, which
attracts young girls to pick I up.
The magazine uses an
image of a heart very
cleverly used as it is
incorporated into the
sentence which is a feature
that magazines with a
target audience of younger
girls tend to develop. It is a
feature that most
magazines used.
