Glamour Magazine Contents Page Analysis

Above is an analysis I have conducted of Glamour magazines contents page. By doing this I am able to see what other magazines of the genre I am following have done to ensure my contents page reaches its best potential.

The title of the magazine with a web address and issue date are situated at the top of the page which creates continuity throughout the magazine, also the web address gives the audience relevant information on the magazine. The colours of the title are in three different type, green orange and light blue, all of the colours complement each other nicely and stand out against the white background.

The image located to the right of the page covers a considerable amount of the page and is instantly eye catching, this image is most likely of the same model that is on the front cover and is most likely featured in the main article. Also the page number to this story is separated from the rest with it being on top of the image gives the impression that this is the main article.

The name of the issue, The Style Issue, highlights what the rest of the magazine is going to be about, with the pink wording of style continuing onto the page numbers of article associated with style. The font on the contents page labelling the articles is continuous throughout, with the main feature in bold text and an insight as to what it is about in standard normal sizing. Finally the on the cover part of the contents page is separated from the articles about style, giving it more attention, the title for this section is in green following the title at the top of the page.

I really like the way that the colour scheme continues throughout this page, I also really like the layout of the page with the image of the model covering a considerable amount, therefore giving the readers what they want.
