Its placed in the same place on every magazine which helps to identify the brand.

Its usually found the bottom right or left hand corner. It gives a very professional look and saves us a lot of time trying to find the price on a magazine.Overall layout: The overall layout of the magazine cover is really eye catching as Beyoncé's white dress contrasts with the dark deep blue background which makes her stand out even more. The text and master head is also white which is eye opening. The text “Beyoncé” is covering her mid-waist which is very eye catching to the reader as it immediately draws our attention from the text to Beyoncé herself.

Layout: There are lots of images which are used around the page which have the page numbers in the corners of them which indicates what they will find on that page. For example, on page 35 there may be a article based on Miley Cyrus.

Colour scheme: There are three main colours in the contents page. Black, yellow and blue. I thought this was a good method because it helps keep all text organised and in a particular order. It leaves it less cluttered and really easy for the reader to read. Header: The header is clearly placed a the top of the page which says “Contents” therefore its very easy to find for those looking for a certain page. Its also written in a bold font which is very eye-catching and engages the reader.
