analysis of GLAMOUR contents page

House style- The colours used are quite neutral as its an october issue the colours match the season of the month, autumn. The pages of the magazine are all put into the groups and then categorised by colour which makes it easier to find what your looking for.

Use of pictures- The magazine has only used one picture on the contents page. The picture although its large doesn't really stand out as much as it could, their is also a few pictures on the second page of the contents but they are not to do with the actual content of the page they are linked to a competition the magazine is hosting.

The logo- i cant see that the magazine has a logo.

Variety of articles- The articles have been put into categories such as 'on the cover' and 'fashion and beauty' which helps the magazine be easier to read and digest.

Language- The contents page has lots of punctuation to stress each point quickly and clearly. They would want it to be quick and clear because people don't want to have to read a lot on a contents page they just want to know where to find it.

Use of font- The font used is quite plain and boring but they have made the main points bold to add effect.

Connotation of pictures- The woman in the picture doesn't resemble the models that you would normally see in a woman fashion/lifestyle magazine she is doing the typical pose and the wind swept hair but she doesn't come across as the usual size 6 model you would find which could represent that the magazine isn't like other magazines it has a wider audience and branches out to any size of people showing them what they also can wear rather than just smaller sized women.

Audiences response- The magazines contents page is very easy to navigate yourself around this would make the audience pleased as when reading a magazine you want to find what your looking for fast rather than having to read through tonnes of writing.
