The document analyzes the contents page of a magazine. It summarizes that:
1) The bold "Contents" heading lets readers know what page they are on and what topics are covered in each section.
2) Sections are divided into clear topics like "Features" and "Fashion" so readers can easily find areas that interest them.
3) Using a recognizable artist helps signal the magazine's genre even if her clothing is not explicitly related to that genre.
