The document analyzes and compares the contents pages of two magazines - NME and Teen Vogue. For NME, it is evident from the images that it is a music magazine, but the target age group is unclear as the instruments depicted could appeal to people from their 20s to 30s. For Teen Vogue, it is clear from the masthead, main image focusing on a female role model, and text references that it is aimed at teenage girls. Key differences are that NME's target audience is ambiguous while Teen Vogue is specifically targeted towards teenage females.

1. The masthead is the most important The cover lines are to separate the
text as it tells the viewer what different subjects talked about in
magazine it is or what the page will be the magazine, so that the viewer
about, so already by having NME we will know what there looking for by
know that this is the magazine, seeing the different cover lines.
especially as that’s the only part of the And the little text lines underneath
text which is red, showing that the these have other heading which
words are separate, but mean one have writing saying a bit about
thing, contents page. what the inside of the story will be
about.
We know it’s the contents page as its
says this week next to NME, which is a
very useful word play as it says The colour in the text, work
contexts pay, with out having to say it. well with the contents page as
all the colours blend together,
All the text is organized in a which quite tells us that it’s a
horizontal line, it has like 4 music contents page as the
columns throughout the whole colour scheme is classical/rock
contents page, which is a very looking.
useful way to separate the
different stories from others.
The ‘band index’ is another
The two main images are put right clue in which it tells the
in the middle of the page because it viewer that this is a music
wants to really bring the viewers to magazine contents page, as
see these images and show them this is something you
what the image will be about on the The index being in the contents page is a useful wouldn’t see in the front
inside as the image links to the idea as now it helps the viewer see exactly what cover but ever in the
whole magazine they are looking for without having to look at contents or the second last
where it is. page of the magazine.

2. ‘teen vogue’ with the underline shows that this is the mast head of
this page and its most likely that its also the name of the magazine.
The page set up is done in horizontal lines to separate the different
texts from each other.
This is well organised and set up, because the numbers written in bold
are explaining that these are the pages to find ‘behind the scene,
cover look’ etc.
There are also ones in which are hearted around, which basically
means circled around, which I think is to show the viewer’s that this is
something in which they’d be interested in looking
‘fashion and features’ really brings attention to the viewer as its
written upside down, also by saying fashion it can already tell us that
this magazine is mainly aimed at young teenage woman
The main image of Taylor Swiss, is set in like a class room as there’s a
chalk board in which is normally used in a class room. She’s like a young
teenager in which most young girls look up to her which can mean that
this magazine is targeted to young teenage girls as a boy wouldn’t look
up to a female figure but a male.
p.96 is boarded in red and merged right on the top of the main
image which means that this is an important page that’s why its also
‘hearted’ circled around to show that this is something the viewer
would like to read,
That’s why right underneath the main image it also has ‘get to know
the real Taylor Swiss’ and this is clearly showing that the magazine is
mostly about young teenager girls e.g. Taylor Swiss as its mostly
written about her
by saying get to know Taylor Swiss it makes the target audience want
to know more about this role model.

3. Analyse of Both Content’s Page
Both of these content pages of magazines are organised well, but the difference with the ‘NME’
contents page is that it’s a music magazine and we can clearly identify this because of the images
, they are both of two people playing an instrument, but then again its hard to know for what age
group is targeted at, as the instruments are not easy to identify because one is seen to be playing
the guitar which of course means its ‘rock and roll’ but on the other hand, the instrument seems
to be a mini piano, meaning its sort of for people who like classical music. Over all it hard to really
analyse the précis people its aimed to but the age group would probably be aimed to a person in
there 20’s or 30’s. for the teen vogue magazine its much more easier to know what target
audience its aimed at because by the heading its already telling us that its for someone in there
teens, and also its aimed for a specific gender as the main image is of a female role model who
most teenage girls would look up to, also if you read around this contents page you would see a
lot of texts that’s are talking about ‘Taylor Swiss’ as she’s the main subjects that’s being talked
about, another reason we know it’s a female ‘teens’ magazine it that the boarders around the
words are pink or the underline, underneath the mast heading is pink even on the boarder in
Taylor Swiss’ name is high lighted in pink, to really stand out that it’s a females magazine contents
page and that, that’s what the magazine will be mainly on about, teenage ‘girls’ life, stories.
