Masthead useful as it makes it more memorable.

The pictures are really well laid out. They go well together (the colours, size and images in general).

The writer’s contribution text allows the reader to understand what they people are like and how they came about to writing there articles. Makes the reader feel more engaged in the magazine.

The plain white background is really good to keeping the magazine contents page simple but not boring as it makes the writing so much more easier to read.If there was a different colour like black or pink then it would make the writing so much harder to read and it will make the page looked more packed than it should be, making the reader not really wanting to look at it as it looks like too much information to bother with.

The fonts and colours look good. They are easy to read and the red subheading allows people to recognize the main sections of a magazine.

This is another ‘Mojo’ contents page. The top half of the page is simple as it tells you the name of the magazine, the month it is being issued and the issue number. This is very useful as if people want to refer back to a previous magazine it is easier because they know what month and issue number the magazine was.

The background colour has a lot of background distractions in it and makes the red colours slightly harder to red, however it makes it look very interesting, so there is no need for anymore pictures.

Person quotes allow the reader to read something interesting about what will be in that magazine. Quotes should be interesting so the reader actually wants to read more.

The use of colours aren’t too bad! The white and black go really well with the background however I don’t really like the red as I cannot see it as well with the light brownish sort of colour underneath it.

I like the idea of having an A side and a B side. It splits the magazine up quite well. The font, colour and size of the masthead for the contents page is clear and attractive.

On the A side, the writing is placed over an image of Eminem, with the background of the image blue. It doesn’t look so bad, but it makes it slightly unclear in my opinion. But, it does interact the writing with the pictures.

Images with page numbers are useful as people may like the person on the image and will be able to straight to the page due to having a page number.

The white background allows the contents page to look really nice, it gives a feel that it isn’t too packed and makes it easier to look at.

The images of both men and women makes the magazine non-sexist which is very good. The use of ‘eye candy’ attracts people to want to look more into the topic. I like the idea of having a double page contents page as it looks not as packed and you can put more eye catching images in it like this one.
