Anaylsis of Contents Pages - Fused


This contents page is from 'Fused' magazine. 'Fused' focuses on music, style and art from the forefront of youth culture and I think you can tell this from how their contents page is set out and looks like. Their contents list is over to the top right-hand corner and there are two columns. The columns are not in a straight lines down the page, they sort of drift to the left-hand side. I think this gives the reader or on looker the feel of unformality, fun and youth. I do not think this magazine is aimed at an adult audience.

There are loads of different fonts being used throughout the page and this gives it a lively and quirky feel which I like. There are even two titles for the contents which gives 'Fused' magazine it's own individual style.

Green, pink and grey are the three main colours being used, but there is also a hint of white. This colour scheme, I think, looks really good and effective as it makes the brighter, bolder colours stick out on the page. Also it gives it a funky, retro vibe.

It is fair to say that imageary is the main part of 'Fused' magazines contents page. The images on the page do link in with what the magazine is about: 'music, art and style from the youth culture.' Music is portrayed by the indie/grunge looking band on the contents page, art is quite obvious as the whole of the contents pages is extremely arty, creative and imagainative and finally, the style is put across in the clothes that the 'indie/grunge band' are wearing and also some of the other images on the page could link in with the style concept.

Overall, I really like the look of the magazine as it is has quirky, individual feel too it. I also like the colours used and how some stnad out more from the rest. When thinking of what I want my contents page to look like I think that there will need to more more text on the page where as 'Fused' magazine has very little text. I am also considering cartoon imagery on my contents page as I love how it looks and it could go well with my magazines genre.
