Music Magazine - Contents Page Analysis

Vibe contents page analysis

The main colour tone to the contents page from ‘vibe’ magazine is cold and blue. The depth of field in the image makes the man at the front stand out and catches the reader’s attention. The two men in the background are both dressed in the same clothing and looking to the right. The rule of thirds has been used in this photograph. The light colour of the sky is a good place for the text to be placed because it is a lot clearer because of the contrasting with the dark coloured text. The setting is very rural and looks quite deserted. The text ‘contents’ is separated to give an edgy feel and is in block capitals. The other two titles are in a posh font which contrasts with the basic font of the contents title. The titles font is serif although the story is all in sans serif.
