The title of the content page does not say the word ‘Contents’ which is very odd. They may have used the title to increase the curiosity of the readers and trick them into reading more. Moreover, the black colour text makes the

title even more visible and instantly grabs the reader’s eye.

MAIN ARTICLE

This is the main article of the magazine as it takes up most of the space of the content page and is

bigger than the other images. The big image highlights what’s inside the

magazine. The celebrities must be popular and have many fans since they’re the main article and the readers would be excited to read about them.

The picture used is very dramatic and loud. It contains five girls with different facial expressions and colourful accessories which might tempt the

readers into reading what the article is about.The pull quote also helps enthrall the target

audience and makes them more interested into reading the article. The personal comment given by the writers at the bottom also helps connect

with the reader on a personal level.The page number is given in bold at the side as

well so the reader can easily find the article.

FEATURING ARTICLESThe titles of the articles are written in blue colour. Some articles have pull quotes instead which makes the reader

curious to read more. Instead of the description of the articles, they’ve placed

their own comments to connect with the readers on a personal level and to make them feel as if they’re directly

talking to them. Alongside, they’ve also included images. The images relate

to what the target audience would be interested in. This makes the magazine more appealing for the audience and

makes them more likely to buy it if they know there is something interesting inside for them to read.

For example, in this content page they’ve included the picture of the famous singer/songwriter Justin Bieber.

They’ve used a pull quote for the article’s title which will make the target audience more curious and wanting to

read more.On the pictures, the page numbers of the articles are also given so the readers can easily skip through and come at

the page they’re interested in.

STRAP LINE

way to engage the reader into buying the magazine so they can read more about their interests. Alongside, a puff is placed at the side which says ‘HOT POSTERS’ which helps allure more readers and tricks them into buying the magazine so they can get the posters included in the

magazine.

The name ‘INSIDE THIS MONTH…’ is used instead of the common convention

‘Features’. This helps draw in more readers, and it is written in bold black font which

futher highlights it. The article titles and pull quotes are in

black and pink colour and are alternatively used to make the magazine look more edgy and different. The page numbers are also written in bold with it so the reader can
