Contents page 'Top fo the pops' case study 2

 Background

The overall layout of the contents page is well structured in comparison to the front cover which was very busy. The front cover is place on the contents page with arrows pointing from numbers to its corresponding article. This is unique and very helpful, I really like that idea and so I’m going to implant it into my own product. There are to main images on the contents page; the front the cover and an image of a famous boy band (one direction).

Colours

The colours have been very consistent which makes the magazine stand out. The slight yellow highlight is effective in attracting the audience, its an energetic colour which is what the magazine is trying to portray; a upbeat and up lifting vibe. The pink denotes the feeling of being bold and it emphasise the feminine vibe. By using these bright and warming colours shows the active nature of magazine and pop music in general. The white connotes a new beginning and creation of music. Even though when my target demographic looks at a magazine they will not think as deep all this will get their attention and the will be thinking about it in the unconsciously   

Subscription box

There is no subscription box because of the younger demographic.

Subheading

Using the sub heading in each column and a title on top gives the magazine a very structured and organize layout as its allowed different section for different features which is then grouped together with there individual page.

Page numbers

The page numbers helps to navigates the reader throughout the magazine, this is very effective as the reader can choose what they feel like reading and they can skip out what they don’t like. The yellow highlighted page number and summary on the chosen page number shows the important gossip.

Editors note

There is no editorial not showing that the magazine’s purpose is  to inform young teenage girls.
