Analysis of 2 contents pages

The contents page that i am looking at here is from vibe magazine it has many different design choices for example the colours that are used in it are black and white this gives the magazine a much more classy look to it and will make it look appealing to whoever the reader is of the magazine. Also they have made the picture of the celebrity large so that it will grab the attention of the reader of the magazine and will make them want to keep reading if they see who the magazine is centred around. They have also mixed up the letters in contents this was also most likely done to give it a much more appealing look. The features of the magazine has about 3 different articles on it which will have been done as it is showing what is the main bulk of the magazine. The font that they use in this section also gives a much more classier look to it which will also make it jump out more at the reader and make it look more attractive. Also the image which is shown isn't clear about what is portraying to the reader which will also add a level of mystery to it as well.

The next contents page that i am analysing is q magazine this also has a lot of different design choices for example they seem to put a lot more emphasis on the different features that the magazine has to offer more so then they did do in vibe this is shown by the fact that they use a much bigger and bolder font in there contents page whereas vibe used smaller and more italic font on the contents page of there magazine also each of them are underlined in red which was most likely done as a way to distinguish between each of the different features but may also have been done to make each thing stand out more to the reader. They do though much like vibe magazine use a big picture however unlike vibe it is used to show of what the main article is and what it will be about as directly underneath the image there is a page number and no description as the picture gives enough information of the article as it is. The contents page uses a lot of red and white on it this will have been done to be in keeping with the theme of the magazine as red and white is used on the front cover and throughout most of the magazine as well.
