Yellow is used to attract
attention as it is quite
bold and out there. This
makes it stand out to

encourages tem to buy

most shocking news is
mostly in yellow to also
encourage a purchase

Magazine website
12. The word ‘Contents’ is bold and
black which stands out to the
audience clearly
The main page is clearly listed first
which makes the reader especially
the Kanye West fans to turn and read
that particular page
The page name and number is clearly
identified in a classy style which
doesn’t confuse the reader and is
straightforward
The magazine not only focuses on
music but fashion as well to show a
variety of different things the
magazine provides
Using Kanye West on the contents page
appeals to the audience as he’s a celebrity
and many of his fans would want to
know the latest about him
The clothes that Kanye is wearing
are classed as fashionable today and
the magazine has also written down
the places you can purchase them
from too.
The theme of the contents page is a
greyscale colour scheme and only
has the red heart from a mysterious
hand behind him
The background is plain and so the
‘V’ behind Kanye is quite big and
bold which identifies the magazine
name ‘Vibe’
13. I chose the colours black, purple and
white because they look colourful and
attract the target audience. The student
also had these colours on which went
well with the magazine
The picture is a sixth form
student sitting down on the grass
outside the school . It is clear and
has the school scenery as the
background.
Masthead
The lure encourages the students to
get the magazine as competitions are
something they want to take part in
The picture of ‘Mrs Copeland’ has a
line from her interview inside to show
that the full interview is inside to read
This quote is seen and read
which makes the student
remember this and counts it
as the quote of the week
This rhetorical question
persuades the student to
open the magazine and
find out who it is
This also encourages students
to get the magazine as pictures
of important events tends to
make them look at them
This would be inside the
magazine and helps the
student especially when it
is the exam season
This is the selling line and links
with the magazine name and the
theme school
For the masthead, o chose
purple with a black outline as it
is eye catching and stands out to
the students which makes them
get the magazine
14. The title for contents page is in white and bold which indicates what the page
is and engages the students to read what the magazine contains
The image at the top is the school
building and has a blue scenery
surrounding it. This meant I had to
choose my magazine background to
be the same blue so it looks concise
This picture illustrates the
caption below on what the
page content is about. This
allows students to read that
particular page if they are
interested
This picture is a clear shot of
what the caption says below. The
scenery also links with the club
and so this gives it an
identification to the students.
The colours black,
white and purple
are used as this is
part of the house
style and makes
the magazine look
consistent towards
the students. The
contents page is
divided into 3
categories each
with a different
colour so it is easy
to see and find.
The categories are
KS3, KS4 and
KS5. They are
clearly labelled so
it is readable for
the students
This links with the lure
on the front page
which indicates what
page it is so the
students are able to
enter the competitions
