other contents page

Unlike the other contents page I have analysed this one is quite sparse and minimalist as it consists of a white page with an image that takes up 1/3 of the page and the rest is well spaced out writing.

The four main colours used are white, black, red and gold. Gold has only been used once, but it was on the large masthead which makes the magazine appear more glamorous and expensive which I get the impression is something the target market would admire.

White has been used as a background, most likely to divert the readers attention to the text and image.

Black has been used as a contrast to white and because of this both the lady’s dress and the thin bar at the top of the page stand from the background.

Red has been used for the page numbers and important titles such as ‘premiere issue’, this is to show that they are more important that the other text.

The image is of a woman in at a guess (women’s fashion is not my strong point) 1950’s clothing, this instantly makes her different to what would be expected as her clothes are different to the current fashion. The fact that the photo is in black and white also helps the reader to see that she is from a different decade due to the fact that colour television and photographs are a fairly recent thing.
