contents page analasis

colour: for the most part all the colours are the same, the constant grey, black and red theme through out the contents page gives the audience a free flowing feel from the magazine. how ever they have gone for a  completely different colour to highlight their main story but kept the familiar red and black from the rest of the page this makes the audience immediately look at the main story as their eyes get drawn to it but the familiar red and black keeps the free flowing feel

the pictures: the main picture is of some one most people know(Nicole Scherzinger) in the picture she is wearing a bikini to make her look "sexy" as she is known as a very attractive woman and this attracts both male and female audiences (the male audiences will be attracted to her so will look at the mag but the female audiences usually will be looking for tips on how to look like her) secondly she is winking and doing the hand sign that is associated with rock and this make the audience feel that she has attitude  which give her a more dominant presence on the mag  
the second picture is another "sexy" picture to attract both audiences but is smaller. this picture is to show a front cover with Nicole Scherzinger on it  saying to cat showing she is the most popular at the moment.

structure: the structure of this contents page used to be unconventional (not traditional) as this page structure has become more and more common in magazines for being different than the original page structure. this structure causes the audience to to look at the picture straight away as it is on the left side of the page and directly in your line of sight.the story's are simple which is a good thing as the audience is not over whelmed or confused at all with every thing else that is going on in the page. main story is completely put in a different position on purpose to make the audience feel that this story is different to all the others
