Page number and caption

Sections are placed separate boxes on the page, separating them from the images on the page, and the background of the contents page. The title of the magazine ‘inside the mag..’ is in bold white writing, making the text stand out in front of the pink background. The font of the text is as if someone had written it themselves, which connotes the target audience of the magazine, because the target audience wouldn’t expect something formal, it would be informal because the target audience is only between  the age group of 10 to 15.

The colour scheme of the Top of the Pops magazine is very bright and colourful, the colours used are pink, yellow, white and black. The writing on the contents page is in black, and only some of the writing is in white like the headline, the yellow is to highlight important things that the target audience might especially want to read. The pink plays an important role in the contents page, as it is more a girly colour and Top of the Pops is a girls magazine, pink is used for the background of the headline, and for the numbers of the articles, the pink is to highlight things that the reader will want to know.
