Analyse of a Contents page (women's lifestyle)

For my womens lifestyle magazine i have chosen to look at Glamour mag.
The contents in this magazine is set out over two pages but they both seem to include more text than pictures. The first page only has one picture, however this is the main focus of the page. This then includes text by the side of it to tell the audience what the article is about. The Glamour title is again printed at the top like on the front cover and below it says the date. A web address is also included on this page which is a great way of letting people know about there website along with getting more viewers.

There is a colour scheme throughout these two pages. On the first page it all fits together nicely, the outfit chosen on the model even matches this colour scheme. The main pieces of information are in bold colour whereas the other text is all in black.
The headings above each section make it clear as to what its about and whether its been featured on the cover etc.



On the second page again the title, month and website are repeated at the top of the page, this time slightly small so less focus is on this. This page includes more image but these are small than the one on the previous page. Half of the page is a competiton of winning the cover girl's look. The other half is layed in in the same way as the last page. It usings bold coloured text to make these things stand out from everything else. The desrciptive writing is usually done in black.
Overall this contents page is there to give you the basic information as to what is featured throughout the magazine.
