Contents Page Analysis

As the contents

page has been

separated into

two clear

sections; Features

and Fashion, this

then allows the

readers to grasp

what certain

topics would be

underneath each

section.

The V in the

background is

initially there to

represent that the

magazine belongs

to Vibe.

The use of Ciara

posing in a sexy

position reflects

that the magazine

belongs to the

genre of hip hop

and R&B.

The positioning of

the artists’ leg is

used to catch the

audience’s

attention an allow

them to focus on

where her feet are

pointing to.

The use of the

text ‘contents’

being big and

bold, allows the

audience to know

what page they

are on.

As the feature

‘Fashion’ has its

own section, this

makes it easier for

the readers to

visit a topic that

they are

interested in

which is under

certain feature.

Also both

subheadings have

been used in a

different type of

font from the rest

of the writing to

stand out and

allow the readers

to know what will

feature

underneath them.

The artist is wearing similar

colours to match the

background of the page; this is

used to bring attention away

from her and more focus on the

text and to also have less of a

colour crash.

Contents Page Analysis

The use of the

‘V’ on the top

left hand

corner

represents that

this magazine

belongs to Vibe

magazine.

This shows the

numbers of

certain pages

that will

feature within

the magazine

and it also

displays the

headlines and

titles to certain

articles and top

stories. This

allows the

readers to

know exactly

what page they

must visit to

find a certain

topic.

The use of a

well-known

artist may

signify that she

will feature in

article within

the magazine.

The outfit of

the artist does

not necessarily

suggest that she

belongs to the

genre of either

Hip-Hop or R&B

as her clothing

is not typically

revealing. The

use of this well-

known and

familiar artist

will allow the

audience to

realise what

genre magazine

it may be.

The use of large jewellery

or in other words ‘bling’,

this also relates to the

genre of either R&B or

Hip-Hop music industry as

the use of large jewellery

is as convention to R&B
