Analysing contents pages

Kayleigh Holley

This contents page is good as it uses a colour scheme that stands out and it uses pictures to make it more appealing to the target audience. However it is bad as it uses a childlike font that even though it may appeal to some, it wont appeal to others and in some places its quite squashed together making it hard to read.

This contents page is good as it has bold font and colour scheme. Again pictures are used which would appeal to the target audience. However ....

Where the triangle is red they had to change the colouring of the last two letters to make it stand out. They should have change the triangle colour to make it work better. Also...

The green here is too bright making it harder to read. The editor has tried and failed to make this stand out and work with the rest of the magazine. They should have stuck to the a bold classic colour to fit with the rest of the contents page.

In my opinion this is rather good for a school magazines contents page. I like how the colours clash, but in a way it works. The font is in a way child like but in another way is bold and simple. The pictures are overlapping in an orderly fashion and this can appeal to any age group. The text also stands out on the background picture. The background picture is good as you can see its within the school but its faint enough so that you can see what the contents say.

However this does not work. Not only does it not relate to what should be on a school magazines contents page, it is too small for anyone to read. If this was taken off and put into the main content of the magazine this contents page would be a lot better.
