Contents page Analysis

I did a short analysis of the main features of a contents page so that i can use these when creating my final magazine. The contents page uses lots of small images to make the whole magazine attractive to the audience. They address the audience directly with letters from the editor, and clearly give page numbers to each part of the magazine which makes it simple to navigate through. The page has a fairly linear layout and is not too overcrowded which creates a smart and more professional look which appeals to the older age group. The font choices are very clear and large, but it does use slang words to try and attract teen audiences who commonly use this language. This contents page uses different shades of the same colour, however this is fairly uncommon and may not appeal to the younger age group of their target audience. Overall I think that the contents page looks very clean, but doesn't necessarily fit into the theme the front page gives, and therefore may appeal less to their whole target audience.
