Contents Page DeconstructionsThe masthead:

This is positioned at the right hand side of the top corner of the page. The word ‘contents’ is divided into three parts, with the ‘co’ at the top and the ‘ts’ at the bottom. It is in a white font which is also bold and attractive.

The Image:

The image is in the middle of the page to grasp your attention. There is only one image therefore it is the main image and is a very important aspect on the contents page as pictures tend to catch people’s attention more. The image is of a woman lying down with her legs up in the air in the shape of the letter V. This is a clever effect as this contents page is taken from an article of Vibe which is a music magazine. The colours of her clothing blends in nicely with the background as the background goes from dark to light and almost looks like a nude colour, just like her outfit. She looks confident and is posing for the camera. It is a full body shot.

The text and necessary information:

The text is the key features of what is going to be inside of the magazine. There are several small paragraphs of text, each with the page number, a subheading and short enigma teaser of what you are going to be reading. The text is small and either in black or a light blue colour. The subheadings are bold to get your attention to read that part of text. The necessary information are things like the issue number and page numbers. They are in a smaller font and positioned near the part of text which gives a brief outline of what will be on that specific page. Also the issue number is below the masthead.

The layout:

The layout of this contents page is very basic. It has light colours on a plain background with one main image and small parts of text. It is a typical example of a contents page.

Masthead:

This is positioned at the top right hand corner of the page. The word ‘contents’ is in a grey font and a bold text which is inside of a small, black box with ‘what’s inside…’ written in a smaller font beneath. It is pretty small for a masthead, you can tell this is a popular magazine as the contents title does not need to be massive.

The text and necessary information:

The text is the key features of what is going to be inside of the magazine. Therefore, this text is important. It is always in a smaller font as the pictures are more noticeable and important when it comes to attracting the readers. There are several small paragraphs, telling you what is inside and what is going to be on

The main image:

The main image is the image at the bottom of the page, it is unusual as the main image is usually in the middle of the page. There are also other images on the page which is unusual because this can be risky due to your eyes being all over the page, not really taking much in. the main image is a group of people standing posed in the middle of the camera, all four men are standing around the woman in the middle, they are all wearing black except the girl whose ginger hair stands out. The other images are actually smaller ‘thumbnail’ sized images of what is

The masthead:

There is no masthead on this contents page. This suggests that the magazine is popular and professional therefore do not feel the need to include a contents page. We still acknowledge this as being the contents page as it tells you what pages to turn to in order to find out certain things.

The image:

There is one main image and it is positioned in the middle of the page. Eminem is standing with his hands grasped in front of his blazer, alongside his suit and tie, dressing smartly and looking confident. His angry looking facial expression reflects what type of music he sings and that is rap. He almost blends into the background as he is all in black apart from the white stripes on his tie and the dark red curtains behind him look shaded, almost like he is coming out of a dark place, into the light. The main colours are black and red.

The text and necessary information:

The text is small and in a white, basic font. The subheadings of the text are slightly bigger and bolder. Some parts of the text are yellow, perhaps this is in a different colour to highlight the best parts which you should look at first. The necessary information are things like the issue number and page numbers. The page numbers are alongside the parts of text.

The layout:

The layout is very much basic and dark. It has light colours such as white and yellow against the dark red background. I like this contents page as it seems quite serious yet informative.
