Case studies Contents Page -Research

Contents Page


As you can see on this magazine’s contents page they have used typical conventions such as the layout of the information on the page. The fact that all the listings have been placed on the right hand side of the page it creates a professional tone to fit the house style of a typical magazine.  The image used on the contents page is an image of 50 cent. The image has been taken as a medium long shot with his body facing the side. 50 cent is facing the readers directly to gain their attention. The colours used on the magazine contents page are pretty plain, they do not seen to be helping the magazine sell itself however the use of the colour black on plain white make the image stand out. This is also a typical magazine convention to use three colours black, white and red. The image used creates a mysterious effect however the clothing demonstrates the complete opposite because he is illustrates hip-hip culture or youth culture. To be more precise the fact that he has a tattoo and is wearing a chain are the representations of hip-hop.
