Contents Page Analysis

The contents page here, generally focuses on Corinne Bailey Rae. It emphasizes the importance of her interview within the magazine as her image also follows the colour theme used in the background here. A Close-up shot is used here which highlights many things. For instance, it shows that the magazine cares more for her as an artist rather than the glamour which tends to surround young female artists nowadays. The dark use of colour here also helps contribute to this as she wears no make up in this image. The shot also prevents her from advertising any designer labels as all we catch a glimpse of is a black jacket and white shirt from her shoulders. It is also clear to see that the colour theme was used as a way to capture her emotions regarding the interview as it displays that she speaks about the "grief of her husband's death" which is highlighted in red writing to emphasize its important. There are no other images used here to distract the audience from what is clear to see the main feature article.

The contents page is overall plain and simple and is easy to follow. There are no complications and we can see that the page displays it's more major stories clearly showing that the magazine wants to serve its purpose and make the readers happy, rather than displaying everything that would be shown in it, which could easily bore the target audience. The text is rather formal than playful which shows that the magazine is aimed more toward adults than teens. There are also no advertisements or competitions displayed here noting that the magazine is solely to give readers information regarding the contents.
