Both magazine contents pages use a mix of pictures and bold, colorful text to attract readers. ELLE's page features images of fashion and makeup alongside headlines of articles. Glamour's page uses a competition and quotes to engage readers. Both remind readers of the magazine name and use different colors to distinguish headings from body text. The pages provide a preview of the magazines' focuses on fashion, beauty, and celebrity to match their target audiences.

4. Comparisons
Both magazines have a mix of pictures and text on
their’ contents pages and show the name of the
magazine again to remind people what they are
reading. The subheadings and numbers on both
contents pages are bold and in a different colour to
the descriptive text because it makes them stand
out. I think both magazine contents pages look
attractive and aim for the right audience with the
colours orange and pink they have used. The main
focuses of both magazines are written on the
contents page on both magazines to remind people
what's in the magazine and what its about inside.
Both show pictures of make-up and fashion because
women are the aim for both magazines. However on
ELLE there is a few men on the page to attract the
female audience and make them more interested.

6. Glamour double page spread
This double page spread is filled with a picture of the celebrity Kelly Osborne, its an interview
with her and just so everyone knows it is she is shown over both pages. Most double pages
spreads are laid out like this so that it becomes one big page which is something different to look
at and might make people stop and look. The text is written bog and in a bright bold colour this is
so that people will attracted to the interview after seeing the picture of her. The first thing readers
look at is who the article is about and the pictures of the person. This is why they are the most
dominant things on the magazine pages. The title and sub text on the left hand side are both on
a slant just to make the page look a bit different. This article is about the fashion side of Kelly and
the sub text explains exactly what the whole interview is about with credit to the writer. The text
below the title is in black because its will be the last thing people look at when they come to
actually start to read the interview. The main text is in pink which is the colour women are
associated with, and because the magazine is about glamour and the interview is about Kelly’s
fashion it works and links with the magazine.
