The ‘contents lines’ are
written in both sans serif
and serif, so that you that

black, grey & white. The use of
these colours together makes the
magazine look more stylish. It

Although the main focus for the
magazine is the cover image, having
this image in the contents shows
glamour. The reason that is does is
because of the uses of silver and
gold, which are both very
glamourous colours – this sets
readers up for the rest of the
magazine.

very detailed,
and it’s essential
that the pages

magazine, if they
flick to the
contents pages
and see multiple
things that
they’re
interested in.

onto reading the
full article after
using to contents
page to find the
page that they’re
interested in.
