Contents page decontruction





Masthead
This masthead of the contents page from the magazine ‘Vibe’ has a very different layout compared to the other contents page magazine which I have researched. The masthead falls down the top right hand side of the page. It is in a white font, which is contrasting with the black/grey background, making the masthead stand out even more. The masthead is also tucking behind the main image, which is covering the whole of the contents page.
Necessary Information
Featured on the bottom right of the page, is the page number. This is presented in the same font and colour as the rest of the text on this page, making the page look professional and organised. There is also a website link placed at the bottom left hand side, which again is presented in the same font and style.
Text
The text falls down the right hand side of the page, although there is few text, it has included the essential information a contents page magazine needs such as what page numbers feature which parts of the magazine. Sub headings are also included to allow the reader to navigate where the ‘featured’ section is of the magazine.
Font
The font and style is very similar to each other on this contents page. There is a lot of black and white font colour which contrasts with each other allowing it to stand out much more. The page itself looks very organised and the style all fits together well with each other.
Images
The image covers the majority of the contents page. The image itself is very eye catching, with the most noticeable part being the models legs, which appear much more vibrant than the rest of the page. They are also shaped in a ‘v’ shape, which related to the title of the magazine which is ‘vibe.’ There is also a letter ‘v’ outlining the models legs in order to emphasis the shape of the legs. The tone of this magazine has very dark colours, which the model keeps by wearing a washed out white bodysuit. The image itself feels as though it is looking at you, as the model is looking directly into the camera, making the image much more enticing. The image is a full body shot.
Composition
This magazine is very much text led, even though there is not as great deal of text there is only one large image which covers the whole contents page. The main image is layered over the masthead as the foot of the model covers the corner of the masthead.
Colour
As previously mentioned the colours on this magazine are very dark but with the masthead contrasting to the background as it is printed in white.
