“Now” Magazine contents page analysis.


At the top of the page, there is the trademark title of “now” magazine, it stands out in bold blue font and is the largest piece of writing on the page as it is important that it is the first thing read. – I think that it will be an important feature for me to include in my contents page.

As well as the giant font, “Now” magazine has a paragraph of text relating to the large image on the left. Also, captions of relevance are displayed to captivate the reader. – these will also be important features for me to include as they are common aspects to contents pages of magazines.

In addition, to features that would be good to include, there are also aspects that would not be appropriate to use within my contents page. For example, there are many colours that are trademark aspects to “Now” magazine in particular. I will try to use a small combination or selection that will not detract attention from the main focal point and will be easier to read.

Finally, “Now” magazine also includes a column of clearly laid out text in the style of a list. This is one of the more important features, as it is where the contents can be looked up. – similar to this feature, I will be using the same layout format so that my contents are comprehensible and yet still eye-catching.
