Vogue Contents Page Anaylsis

The contents page of vogue I quite crammed with lots of information having to be put in such a small space as the magazine is very large, but the way it is set out is clever, neat and still looks quirky as its layout is random and in no specific order.

The use of colours is very clear with a white background and black writing with bright red headings that stand out and which split up different sections, making it easier for the reader to choose what they want to look out and doesn’t overpower the reader.

The front cover picture is also on the content page connecting the magazine together dragging readers in at the same time. Some of the writing is in italics which splits up the writing making it easier to read and stand out more.

The picture chosen to be on the page is a very extreme of fashion picture but that is what reader of vogue will want because they want things that are different and new.
