Contents Page Analysis 2: Mojo
The aim of the use of a contents page is to show the reader what will come up inside the magazine. By doing this the reader would know what to look at the magazine and find out where the intersting parts of it are and on what page to look for it. The contents page usually is easy and simple to understand. The use of the colours black, white, yellow, and red remain consistent throughout the whole of the contents page, making sure that the contents page doesn't look too busy. The contents on the page follow one after another so that it is easy for the reader to find what they are looking for as it is in chronological order; the contents on the right hand side of the page are images and use different colours than the contents on the left hand side of the page, this is because these contents require special are more appealing to the readers and therefore the use of extraordinary features make them stand out from the rest of the contents. The use of a white background is very efficient so that the reader can concentrate on the text and not get distracted by anything else the pictures on the right hand side convey different meanings as some are of humans whereas others represent as childish . The contents on the left hand side are emphasised in bold text which lets the reader know about what the article is about and where to find it, minor details are used in a fancy font style which subverts to the conventional content pages as they commonly use a font style that is easy and simple to read. The layout also subverts the conventional layout of contents pages which usually have a straight page whereas this page has a layout that is a slightly rotated at an angle. The target audience for this magazine is people who like to listen to differnt music as this magazine specializes in Rock genre and other genres such as reggae. the magazine mojo seems quite comical as it mixes the conventional image with something more comic like.
