Contents page.


Looking for a contents page seemed to be even harder than finding a artical, i wanted to find a contents page that represented the genre of the magazine instantly, 'Vibe' is a well known RnB magazine, when i found this i thought that this did represent the genre well.
The reader can instantly tell that this is the contents page as the text is big and bold on a white background, however i think the dominant things on this page are the images, these tell the reader the kind of genre, RnB artists are mainly people of black ethnicity as they are known for there rap artists, as the pictures are all males from black ethnic background, this sets the genre of the magazine and therefore from a glance at this page is obvious what to expect.
The text on the contents page is much smaller compared to the text 'Contents' i took this as a way that the images are to draw the reader in, once there drawn in, then they will want to know what is in the magazine (which artists, and which storys). If a reader is not interested from the images than it is clear that this isnt a magazine that matches there music taste.
The advertisement of the magazine website 'Vibe.com' is for interested readers that enjoy the magazine and want to know more about different RnB artists that have not been included in the magazine. They promote the website by standing a few articles that can be read on there webpage.
There is a big contrast of colours on this contents page of dark and light, the background is all white, this is thge contrasted with the images and the text, as these are all mainly dark, this makes the page really stand out and therefore draws the reader in. As all the images are direct address this also draws the reader in as they relate to the artists.
