1) The document is a contents page from a magazine. It uses a grid layout with images, headlines, and brief descriptions to preview the stories inside. 2) The design continues the magazine's style through color palette, varied fonts, and placement of images next to relevant articles. Personal pronouns and informal language create a chatty, friendly tone. 3) The contents page effectively entices readers to learn more about stories through headlines and images of celebrities while also making it easy to navigate with clear section headings and page numbers.

2. Colour
The colour scheme like the front
cover with the dominant red and
black, however there’s much less
yellow. The red is again used to
highlight the most important
information- in this case the folio.
This enables the reader to find thee
story they’re looking for quickly and
easily. There’s a lot of black which
associates to the genre rock/indie.
The black against the white gives it
a vintage newspaper feel which
would appeal to the young man
target audience because there male
colours.
Language
Formal language is used
throughout this contents page and
this is the same as what was
displayed on the cover. I feel this
is because of the serious tone
which was conveyed in the front
cover image, is being reflected by
the ‘straight to the point’ language.
The one word/two word column of
words in the ‘Plus’ column show
this straight to the point technique.
The use of quoting the article to
create anchors for each image is
clever as it gives the reader a
taster of what’s inside and
persuades them to want to find
out more
Pose, style, impression
There is a range of impression conveyed by this
contents page. Most of the images have the
person in question looking serious. However the
op right hand corner image shows the band
Franz Ferdinand changing from the previously
seen serious standing up pose to huddled
together laughing and the sun glasses this time
creating a more relaxed impression and the
festival image adds to this to
Design
A three column gird was used to
create this contents page as well as
a forth large box to allow the text and
images at the bottom. There is a
clear gutter between each element
which is emphasised by the black
line between each section. All the
images on thee first and third column
are the same size and serif font. This
give the page a structure organised
look which emphasises the grid used
and adds to the simplicity. The
‘masthead’ of a bold serif font looks
like the text you’d find in a
newspaper so adds to the vintage
feel. The main centre image gives
the page a focus point and relates to
the cover line of ‘Arcade Fire’ in the
skyline on the front cover.

magazine is shown in the bottom
right hand corner. This is usually
seen later on in the magazine
however placing it on the contents
page could suggest to the reader
that ‘this is what you’re getting in this
issue so subscribe and get this each
month’
Overall Impression
I feel this contents page does
continue the house style well and all
the different elements that create the
vintage newspaper feel, appeal to the
target audience because it creates a
more grown up feel like there age
group

3. Colour
The colour scheme for this contents cover is completely different from the front
cover. This challenges the conventions because the house style which is
established on the front cover should then be carried through to the rest of the
magazine, however this is not the case. They might have done this to give the
contents a more sophisticated feel by introducing more colours so the page is
not filled with to many bright over powering colours.
Design
You can see that this contents page was created using a three column grid shown by the three
columns of text toward the bottom of the page, however the top half of the page has followed
more of a two column grid. The various images dotted around have been put next to the
relevant story which gives the page some depth and keeps up the lively feel conveyed by the
front cover. Apart from the long pieces of text in a serif font so it can be read easier, the text is
written in a sans serif font again to maintain the boldness and keep it simple. The chatty
language of ‘Hey, girls’ and ‘Inside your mag’ makes the reader feel involved in the magazine,
which is emphasised by the use of personal pronouns- ‘your’ and ‘you’, making it seem this
magazine was only created for you. There is a clear gutter between each section which
separates the points, although there is some overlap with pictures as this creates impact
because they’re bleeding across the page. The diagram of the front cover with labelled page
numbers is very useful for quickly finding information so the readers can quickly flick through
and find the feature which attracts them. As well as this the page numbers on this entire page
are highlighted a different colour which makes them stand out and again allows the reader to
quickly find information. I feel the variety of images, fonts and colours gives this contents page
a collage feel, it almost looks like a pin board you’d find on a teenage girls wall, and this creates
the fun, relaxed feel which has been carried through form the cover.
Images
The various images of all shapes are directly linked to
each story as they’re situated next to the text. One
direction, Union J, Cel and Richard are the dominant
images on this contents page as the target audience
would find them attractive and want to find out more
about their celeb crushes. All the images are again like
the front cover, of people smiling or having fun and I
feel the picture of George from Union J in the puff
under staff writer, emphasises this fun mood. They’re
all wearing on trend clothing as well as feature clothes
stories which appeals to teenage girls as they want to
look fashionable.
Language
Overall Impression
I’ve already touched on the use of language
with the use of personal pronouns. The
colloquial language is evident throughout
such as at the top of the first column with
‘oops’ and ‘awkward’, this gives it a diary
feel or a friend talking to you.
I expected to find a contents page full of
pink and yellow fluorescent colours
because of the front cover however this is
not what I got. I feel this contents page
does challenge the conventions especially
with the colour schemes and layout of a
more relaxed grid, however I feel it still
addresses the right target audience
especially with the informal chatty language
and images.

4. Colour
Design
The colour scheme for this magazine has
been continued onto this contents page.
The masthead is identical and the only
change is that the colour white is more
dominant as the bright colours have been
toned down. I think this is because this
page contains much more information
than the front cover so continuing with to
many bright colours would over power the
page. Therefore, this page has a softer
feel that the front cover because of the
introduction of softer pastel colours like
the baby pink and blue. This continues to
appeal to the target audience
A loose two grid has been used to
create this contents page. The right
hand side sees the information of
what’s inside (the main feature of any
contents page) and is presented
clearly with a guttering each side to
separate it from the rest of the page.
The biggest chunk of the page
contains an image and editors note,
and I would expect there to be this in
any magazine. Convergence is
evident in the hand holding the ipad
next to the editors note and this is a
modern convention of magazines. It
would attract thee target audience of
teenagers because they’re the
generation who are stereotypically
always using technology and social
networking sites. The folio are in a
blue colour next to the white
background, grouped together under
sub headings. This makes it easy for
the reader to find what they’re looking
for and the sun heading help them
find the section that most interests
them. The yellow puff stands out on
the page and informs the audience
when the next issue is on sale, trying
to persuade them to buy it again.
There is still a variety of fonts and
sizes which continues the house style
established on the cover.
Images
Like the cover there is a mixture of images
of all sizes. The main image is still Union J
because on the front cover the main cover
line was of Union J and the same image of
Olly Murs has been displayed. The fun feel
is still conveyed through these images and
the girl in between the boys makes the
audience want that person to be them so
invites them to read on and find out a way
of possibly making that girl them.
Language
Overall Impression
The informal language creating a chatty
atmosphere has been continued onto this
contents page. There are a lot more puns
present including ‘What’s in this a-Mursing issue, which references Olly Murs.
There are also anchors on the images
and speech bubbles to add to the scrap
book theme.
The house style of this magazine
has very much been continued onto
this contents page. It follows nearly
all of the magazine conventions and
doesn’t challenge to many. It
appeals through colours, images
and language
