InStyle front cover

Masthead: The masthead of this contents page is in a burgundy and black colour which is located at the top of the page. The text is in bold which indicates that it is the

most important text on the page. The InStyle name before the Contents masthead is in burgundy, which adds colour to it but the contents in black shows that it’s the main

heading of the two.

Images: There is just one image used on this page and it is a long shot of a female wearing a dress. The shot has been taken in high key lighting setup with dark makeup, hair and clothing to match. The model has tanned skin which also goes with the idea of

the clothing and fashion theme. The dress is a sparkly black and gold dress which indicates that the model is important and someone with a lot of money and class. The

quality of the main image isn't that high which is a down to the contents page, as it doesn’t make it look professional.

Text: The text used is mainly to the left of the page, with the small titles of what is included in the oncoming articles inside of the magazine itself. They have been worded with catchy phrases so that it attracts the readers attention so that they would want to

read that article. Alliteration has been used in some places which could keep the catchy sentence in the readers head so that they go back and read it later. Text has

been used to explain the main image over the top of the image’s background. This has been done so that none of the details in the main image is overlapped with text, but so

we still know what is being described.

Colours: The colours used in the contents page are black and burgundy. This is used on the masthead, the titles and the text. The titles are the burgundy colour whereas the text itself is black. As both of these colours are dark colours, they tend to stand out the most. The background of the page is white, so any audience who have trouble seeing

colours wont have a problem seeing the black/red on white text with them being reverse colours. The model has a different colours scheme to the page layout, the

colour scheme on the main picture is brown, gold and tanned colours. This includes her outfit, hair and skin colour. The background is either silver white to the main image

but it looks slightly pixelated or shiny.

Other information: The date issued is included just below the masthead. This usually doesn’t appear in a contents page but it is there and can remind the reader of the date

released/volume number without having to turn back to the front page where it is usually located. There is some information at the bottom left of the page which has

been wrote in smaller text to explain how the photograph was being taken and giving credit to the company advertised and the photographer who took the image.
