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 females.
