Top of the Pops ; Contents Page Anaylsis.

This is my analysis for the top of the pops magazine contents page.

On the contents page for this magazine, it uses several images to make it more interesting and more engaging for the audience. The contents page also includes an image of the front cover with arrows and page numbers showing which stories are on which page, which makes it easier for the reader to find out which page the article that they want to read is on. There’s also some other images of more famous and popular artists that are included in the magazine. The images reflect the genre of the magazine because they are fun and exciting and that’s what the magazine is all about. The images support my initial findings about the style of the magazine as the main image on the contents page is the front cover and its contents, also the ‘behind the scene images’ make the page seem more relaxed. The colours that are used for the contents page in this magazine are white as the background, very plain and simple, and also a mix between dark purple and lilac. These colours have been chose because they were used on the front cover and throughout the magazine. The information is ordered in such way that is easy to read and simple for the readers. The different sections in the contents page are ‘all about you, which includes things like quizzes and a problem page. The next section is called ‘we love shopping’ which shows the pages for fashion/shopping. Another section included on the contents page is called wins & offers; this is a section for the different types of games, and competitions that the readers can enter.  The final section is called ‘celebs and gossip’ this is the section with all the latest gossip and stories on popular celebs. The different section of the contents page are for the audience as they may have different reasons why they purchase the magazine therefore the magazine editors want there to be something for all of their readers in the magazine. On the contents page, it includes a promotional feature stating ‘win 1D’s digi pic frame!’ this would engage readers to read the magazine. This magazine does not have a logo; however you know that the contents page is top of the pops as it includes a shot of the front cover. This magazine is part of the BBC which is a large international television and radio broadcast, however these are not promoted on the contents page.
