Textual Analysis of a Contents Page!

 

 

This contents page is from the music magazine Vibe, the colour scheme for this particular issues contents page is black, grey and blue. The model used is well known rap artist Kanye West, the image of him is in black and white to fit in with the rest of the colour scheme. There is a hand coming over his shoulder which appears to be grabbing his heart which is also the only part of the image which is in colour.  The tone of the image is cold, this is created by the colours used this also makes the splash of could in the heart stand out and creates an effect. The models clothes reflect this theme portrayed by the mise-en-scene. The main heading which reads ‘Contents’ it laid out in an odd way and is broken onto three lines. The background shows a big letter ‘V’ in a contrasting colour to the rest of the page, this appears to be representing the magazines name, ‘Vibe’. The contents page contains the page numbers and the corresponding article names on the right side of the page, opposite the model. The text is quite small; however the sub-headings for the different areas of interest are in slightly larger text.
