The document analyzes the contents page of a magazine. It notes that the title stands out due to its large font size and cursor image. The biggest image catches the eye through high-key lighting and stark contrast. The sizes of images at the bottom look uneven due to excess white space on the right. The magazine's limited color scheme and mix of serif and sans serif fonts make it seem sophisticated by appealing to both mature and younger readers. Photo subjects seem normal through common backgrounds, portraying artists as approachable people passionate about music. Lana del Rey's exception photo emphasizes her as the main story. Page numbers are easy to see through large, contrasting colors.

1. CONTENTS PAGE ANALYSIS [MICHAELLA MANIAGO]
- There is a good use of font size to dictate where the reader’s
attention would go. For instance, the article title ‘140 SONGS TO
DOWNLOAD NOW!’ attracts the reader’s attention as it is bigger
than all the other article names. Additionally, the cursor image
next to it is a good design touch that relates to the internet and
downloading songs from it.
- The contents page has images of various sizes, with the
biggest one being the most eye-catching not purely because of
its size, but because of the composition. The high-key lighting
exposes the intensity of the colour of her eyes and the blood
creates a stark contrast against her skin.
- The size of the images at the bottom of Lana del Rey’s are
placed so that there is an excess of white space on the right,
which makes the sizes of the bottom images look uneven.
- The magazine’s use of a limited colour scheme and
combining Serif and sans Serif fonts makes the magazine seem
more sophisticated because the Serif fonts connote to maturity,
while the sans Serif fonts create the impression that the
magazine appeals to people of all ages. The house style also
uses semi-formal language to maintain a closeness to the
readers while also displaying a professional tone.

2. CONTENTS PAGE ANALYSIS [MICHAELLA MANIAGO]
The photos, with the exception of Lana del Rey, share a similar
pattern of it being a mid to a whole-body shot, with a deep
focus that allows the foreground and the background to be seen.
By having backgrounds that are seemingly common – such as
the forest or a normal room with pictures framed on the walls
or musical instruments -, the readers could see the artists as
being normal people who are simply doing what they love. This
would make them feel closer to the artists because they were
learning about them through articles and interviews, but also
through the way their pictures have been taken. Some are
dressed in silly costumes that could showcase their humour,
while others are smiling to create an air of friendliness that
could put the reader at ease when reading about them.
Alternatively, the fact that Lana is an exception from the other
photos both in size and mise-en-scene, it could emphasise on
the importance of her story in the magazine because she is the
main article . This prioritises her as being the one being more
important than all the rest and would therefore probably be the
first thing that the readers see.
- The style of the page numbers on the pictures are easy
to see because of the large font size and the use of
contrasting colours such as red and white.
