This contents page shows singer Ciara dressed in a grey bodysuit lying at a sideways angle with her legs stretched out above her. The body language she uses signals attitude which is also noticeable in her facial expression. She is wearing grey high heels which blend nicely with the dark to light grey background. On the left side there is two subheadings listed, ‘Features' and 'Fashion.' The text is black and is serif in font, keeping it clear and not too complicated. The title 'CONTENTS' is spread in a lined order which is a very different and vintage style to give the page. The original outlook works with the vintage photograph. The title is in sans serif white bold which contrasts the dark page.
This is the contents page to the magazine Vibe. The colour of the background matches the colours of the costume Nicki is wearing and makes her look like a snow queen still in the theme of her being a queen. Vibe have kept their contents page fairly simple, just a page reference a brief into to what the page is about then underneath a little description, it's not ordered into regulars and features but follows the trend of keeping the contents to the side with the picture being the main feature of the magazine. This gives a strong outwards appearance for the magazine and makes the model appear strong. The model used in the contents page for Vibe was also featured on their double page spread, therefore I will think about this when looking into creating my double page spread and keeping the models consistent.
I also chose this magazine contents page to research as it is different from my other researched contents page. Instead it features multiple pictures all creating a statement and showing a broader range of what will be in the magazine. The contents page is still listed to the sides but instead has two columns with the pictures in the middle. It also uses a range of models and is divided into each section with a description of what will be featured on each page. The colour's used in the pictures are also consistent with the text as we see red appear many times throughout each of the pictures and with the word contents and the sub headings, this makes it stand out and draw attention to the pictures and the topics that are featured in this magazine, this is something i would like to bring forward in my magazine contents page as I feel it gives it a professional, consistent look.
This contents page like the first 2 has all the information for the contents page along the side in a neat column with one picture. Again in this picture the woman looks powerful standing in a way so that she draws attention to herself. The colours of the outfit on the model go with the title and the orange titles along the contents page. The titles like the ones before with the colour of the title matching the sub headings. This contents page does not have a specific title that says 'contents' instead it has the title of the magazine in bold letters which gives it a powerful stance, it also has the website of the magazine underneath letting readers know they can also go online. The different shades of orange on the title give it a summery vibe. As my magazine is a winter edition i could think of doing different shades of grey to give it a frosty look etc. The hair up is a strong look which highlights the models cheekbones and dark eyes, I feel this gives a winter look and i will incorporate this onto my model when creating the contents page. This contents again just uses one model, like the Nicki Minaj cover she is standing to the right hand side, Nicki Minaj used the look of a Queen in order to make her look powerful, this woman again looks powerful but in the way she is standing and her clothes as if making a statement so the use of a powerful looking model is essential in creating a good contents page.
