The imagesusedinthispage are also
quite contrasting.Forexample the

quite randomandclustered.

2. This contents page also uses a minimalistic design. The main
colour scheme uses red, black andwhite. This creates contrast
which allows us to tell differences between sections of the
page. The images compliment the colour scheme used, for
example Lana’s pale skinmatchesthe white used in the
background, and the blood matches the redusedonthe page.
The mainimage used onthis contents page is quite boldand
striking. It is an unusual image whichwouldcreate some
intrigue for those lookingat the page. For example, the blood
running downthe side ofher head, the waythat the
photograph is angledandthe waythe photo is cropped. The
waythat this is done shows a close up ofLana, which allows us
to see the quite sultryfacialexpression that she is using, such
as the waythat her lips are slightlypartedandalsothe blood
on her head. Thismaybe stereotypical ofthe male gaze, by
representingthe linkbetweena woman’s sexualityand
danger. This would attract the reader’s attentionanddraw
them to the image. It alsomatches the minimalistic design on
the page as she looks quite natural, she is not wearing lots of
makeupor boldcolours. This helps to drawthe attentionto
the bloodonthe side of her face also.
The cursor symbol usedon the left hand
side ofthe page createsa hotspot and
draws the reader’s attention to the image
displayedon the left. This image shows two
men in bear onesies, somethingwhich
creates humour. This contrasts quite
significantlyto the mainimage onthe right
hand side which is quite mysterious.
The waythat images are usedto show what will be
containedoneachpage as wellas writingmakes it
a lot easier for the reader to follow. It makes the
design more simple andeffective for the readers
use. It alsostops clusters of text to present the
relevant information, which helps to create the
minimalistic design.
The ‘contents’ title is displayedin the topcentre
of the page. It is bold, andin black withthe
magazine name displayednext to it withits usual
logo. Thisis effective as it is displayed clearlyand
also is kept separate from the rest ofthe text and
imageson the page whichmeans it is very
noticeable andeye catching. The most important
informationonthe page is displayedin bright red
boxes, this colour immediatelycatches the
reader’s attention. For example, page numbers
are displayedin these red boxes, alongside some
important text. The rest ofthe text is displayedin
black, however it is still veryeffective as eachbit
is sectioned off bya line sothat we canvery
clearlyunderstandthe different parts of the
magazine.

interesting.The lettersare spreadoutbelow
