Contents Analysis - VIBE




This is a contents page for music magazine vibe. The contents page consists of main colours black and white. These are conventional colours which are used time and time again as a basic colour scheme.

The main content list is on the right of the image with seems quite conventional for a lot of vibe contents pages I have seen, this is something I can take into account when designing mine. The contents list consists of two head cover lines features and fashion. They are bold which allows the audience to easily see what is involved in each section clearer. They have seemed to take a risk with a font which can be seen as difficult because of some of the letters, however this is conventional for vibe and the overall look of the font is interesting and compliments the image used.

The main image used on the contents page is very effective and significant. Firstly the long shot of the woman laying flat allows the audience to see her whole body language. Vibe have used different coloured shoes on the woman significantly so they stand of compared to the basic black and white scheme, this is because this allows the audience to see the position her legs are in, which symbolise a V shape for Vibe. To compliment this there is also an outlined V which is put behind her legs, this allows the audience to interoperate the letters more which will make them think of vibe, this allows people to remember the magazine name more for when they see the logo.

Contents is written in clear block writing which is which in contrast to the darker background which allows it to be more eye grabbing. It isn’t written on one line, it takes over three lines in a big font, this still allows it to be read clearly. The use of the dots which separate each bit of information is an important feature which allows the audience not to get mixed up with different pages .A negative of the page is that it doesn’t indicate everything in the magazine and what page it is, this is what contents pages are supposed to do to create a clear interoperate for the reader.

  1. The writing is also not perpendicular to the edge of the page which is another interesting feature.
