Research and planning contents page analysis

 


This is the contents page of the pop magazine called 'top of the pops'. I can tell this is a pop magazine contents page because of the models that are chosen who are 'one direction' and they are young pop stars. Also, the text styles chosen are very bold which suggests that this is a pop magazine. I think the audience of this contents page are teenagers of age 15 - 18 because the use of bright colours and images of young pop stars shows that female teenagers would be interested in this magazine. the layout of this contents page is very organized and colourful. Very simple colours like pink, yellow, black and white background  has been used so that all the text, images and boxes stand out. It also has sections on each topic so that audience can easily find their topic and navigate easily. It has four images, one is of one direction where they are looking directly at the audience. This helps the audience connect more with what they are reading. Other images used for advertisement reason are the pink high top shoe which is also feminine, the white top which have the writing cute shows that is is for younger teengers as they are potrayed to be cute. The masthead of this contents page is very girly and fun, it makes the reader want to see more as it is attractive and engages the reader.
