Contents Page Analysis 2

This contents page is for the magazine vibe, it is shown as very plain and simple, but it works very well as a contents page because of the simplicity, the simplicity makes it unique and it stands out. Vibe produce more than one contents pages this is a second contents page out of 3, this allows the contents to be heavily focused on the photography which is mainly focused in this contents page. The use of copy is minimal, but with not allot of copy it does not inform the audience very well. The main image makes the contents page stand out the most, the mid shot image is of Movado; Movado is a Jamaican reggae musician, he is shown looking half dead with no pose at all, with his head tilted to the right.  There is a bare use of colour; it’s just black and white making the contents page looking very gloomy and plain. There is a second image on the contents page which is the front page but a smaller size image of it. The brand identity continues to run through the magazine from the front cover to the contents page, the colours of the black white and red. The contents page has a dark tone and connotation to it. The layout and composition is not busy at all, the copy has been minimal and the use of photography has taken over the contents page. Vibe have a unique feature that they only use so when you see their contents page you know it’s a vibe magazine contents page they do this by breaking up the word contents in too 3 words, this is a unique feature that sets out vibe differently to others. This contents page subverts the stereotypical features that you would expect to see from a contents page because it is very simple and mainly focuses on the photography rather than the copy.
