1. The main image on this contents page is
of 50 cent. They both have their backs
touching each other whilst both looking
at the camera, this is very attractive
towards most audiences as the artists
are looking directly at the camera and it
may seem of interest to them as to why
they are stood back to back
The layout is placed towards the left
hand side of the page as the main
attraction is to the right hand side of
the page, therefore when the page is
turned the audience are attracted by
the image rather than having to look at
lots of text first. Also by having
headings it allows the audience to know
where to find the information they have
interest in.
Rather than the title saying ‘Contents’
it says ‘A-side’ this makes the page
individual in comparison to most
other contents pages. Also, the title
creates mystery as its clear that the
title has relation to the image of 50
cent and soujia boy and It may make
the audience want to read on and see
what it means.
The colour pallet for this contents page
is black white and red, which is a very
cliché combination. This works very
well and makes the page legible, also
XXL are renown for this combination
and it helps the audience start to
recognize them for their usual colour
schemes.
The jewelry of the rappers are very eye
catching as most hip hop fans will also
pay a big interest into jewelry as well
2. On this contents page Vibe have place there
logo in the top right corner, this gives the
audience a recap on who's magazine they are
reading, and may help to develop loyal
customers if its one of their first time reading
this companies magazine.
The background colour for this contents page
is a dark red. This is very individual as most
contents pages have a black background which
contrast with the white text. However, this
contents page does it very well as the colours
contrast well with the rappers jewelry and
expression, as he looks very aggressive
therefore the background could resemble
blood.
The rappers jewelry is very eye catching
on this contents page and helps to draw
the audiences attention to the page, by
doing this it has the ability to make them
feel more interested in the topics that
are listed on the page.
The text is positioned to the left hand
side of the page, the font is very simple
and quite small, but big enough to let
the audience able to read the writing.
Also, the text is white because it makes
the page very legible, I believe this is the
only colour that would properly work for
this page as a black or blue simply would
not mix well with the dark red/crimson
background.
The main image is of a famous hip hop artist,
anyone can notice this through his jewelry and
his facial expression. This is especially good for
anyone that listens to this artists music as they
will be interested in what he has to say.
3. The colour scheme for this contents
page is very unusual. The image is
black and white whereas the
background is a silver and a dark
shade of grey. These contrast really
well together and make the image
very eye catching. Also the black
writing goes well with the silver
background, and makes the page
legible for the readers.
The text is placed in the bottom right
hand corner of the page, and allows the
audience to know it’s a contents page as
soon as they turn the page. It has titles of
Features and Fashion to make it easier for
the audience to locate the pages which
have these certain topics on.
The title for this contents page is also
quite un-ordinary. This Is because its not
just in a straight line, its split up into 3
different lines. This makes the title of the
page in the audiences face and lets them
know exactly what the information on this
page will consist of.
The hip hop artist on this page is an
American artist called Kanye West, who
is very well known to the majority of
the world. The magazine has made
Kanye look very imporant through his
style of clothing and even put a red
heart on his chest, being held by
another person. This creates mystery as
it could suggest that he is in love with
someone and make people want to
read about it
