Contents Analysis 5
This contents page is from Mojo magazine. It has 116 pages and it has 15 stories in three sections. This is laid out in one column with 8 images. 4 of the articles are illustrated with an image. The page numbers are placed to the left of the articles and are font size 12 and are coloured themed according to which part of the magazine the article is in. There is some white space, from where text hasn't quite gone to the edge of the page, and in between page numbers however most space is taken up by the images. There is one studio shot and all other shots are on location. Each image has different clothes. This contents relates to the genre of pop rock through the artists they use in the magazine, as well as having quite a dark colour scheme used in their photos.
There is the logo of the magazine can be seen at the top of the column on the left. This creates synergy with the front cover as it is the same as on the front cover. The publisher of the magazine is Bauer Media Group. You can tell the target audience of young-mid adults from the artists they use, as well as having plenty of text to show they have lots of content for older audiences to read. The theory of Dyer, 'a star is an image, not a real person', can be applied through the obvious effect on the bottom picture in the collage.
How This Has Affected My Research and Creativity
I don't like how crowded this contents page is, with the text and images almost battling for more space. However, I do like the effects they have put onto some of the photos, and might explore putting effects on my own photos.
