2. 3 colour rule is clear, mainly using
black and white with the red
information at the bottom of the page
to catch the audiences attention.
The title sticks to
the column format
of what the
information is in,
making the letters
separate the word.
This could make
the magazine look
less formal but
because of the font
and the black that
is used it is a
sophisticated
technique.
Pictures are used to surround the
contents to give the audience an
insight to what is included in the
magazine. Each picture has a caption
and some information of their own,
making the contents page look busier
than they usually are. Although,
because they are in columns and do
not overlap it still looks classy.
Each picture has a
similar background
which gives off a
theme, possibly for
the whole magazine.
A corner has been given to
introduce the magazines
social networks and cross
media convergence. This is
a way that they take
advantage of advertising.

3. Sex appeal is used on this
contents page because
there is a woman in a
leotard, this meaning she
has her legs out, in the air
with high heels on. This is
make girls aspire to be like
her and boys be attracted to
her.
The contents of
the magazine
are in a column
to make it look
sophisticated
and also
follows the
direction of the
girls legs,
creating
synergy
between the
model and the
writing.
The title is split into
different letters to
make the word, this
makes some
magazines look
immature, although
in this case, the font
and colour stop this
from occurring.
There is an
outline of a V at
the top in the
background,
this is because
it is a Vibe
magazine and
creates the
house style with
the cover.

4. NME take a busy approach
to their contents page, this
can sometimes overwhelm
the audience.
The 3 colour rule has also
been broken as four colours
have been used. This could
be a tactical idea to make
the audience overwhelmed
by all of the information
but want to know what it
all is.
A list of bands is
down the left hand
side used as a
margin, this is
located in an easy
place for the audience
to see, this way they
can see what type of
people are included
in the magazine and
the type of genre.
The title is across the
top with a black
background which
separates it from the
rest of the page. This
is creating synergy
and a making the
house style clear.
Columns are
clearly used in this
contents page
which are useful
because the page
has so much
information and is
so busy. The
columns will help
the audience to
make it easier for
them to read and
understand.
