contents page 1

Layout: the layout of this magazine contents page

for ‘Vibe’ is very simple as there is a main image,

and the features involved in the magazine are

placed to one side. The main image takes up the

majority of the screen and therefore becomes the

focal point in the framing.

Fonts: there are four fonts used for the contents

page. This makes it look more sophisticated and

doesn’t make one thing stand out more than

another. They would do this because their target

audience is a bit older. The sections of the

contents pages are separated by using a different

font that is also bold and of a bigger size. This

makes it easier for the reader to understand the

contents page. All the writing on the contents

page is very vague so it doesn’t give too much of

the feature away. This makes the reader want to

look at the article and find the bit they want.

Colours: the whole of the contents page is in the

colours of black and different shades of grey,

apart from one section which is a bright red. This

makes it stand out against the neutrally coloured background. You can also see the red

shape is a heart. All the writing is in a black font which then also stands out against the grey

background of the image.

Image: the image itself shows kanye west with a body gesture that connotes power. The

relaxed shoulders and the hands in the pockets suggest he is powerful.

Other: like with the front covers of magazines, the contents page has been limited to 3 or 4

fonts and 3 or 4 colours. This makes it look less busy. The layout of the contents page with

the subtle ‘V’ in the background is conventional within the ‘Vibe’ brand. It is used in all their

magazines. The layout of the word ‘Contents’ is always used as well. This makes it a house

style for the magazine.
