Analysising music magazine contents pages

This contents page has one main seductive image who's legs are mimicking the iconic V of the magazine. This tells the audience that the magazine is of high quality as the artists are manipulated by the magazine instead of the artists acting bigger than the magazine, this makes the audience feel as though they are in control of the artists as they are reading the magazine which controls the artists. The fading background colour from dark to light compliments the black/white, classy font which is on a slight slant too give the page a sense of triviality.
The image adds sexuality to quite a plain contents page, however the colours contrast too portray a sophisticated look, the direct eye contact will seduce the audience too want too read more of the magazine, its a huge lure tactic. The positioning of the 'contents' layers over the watermark of the iconic 'v' figure. The structure of the page is built up and around the artists legs which creates a smooth base for the contents to be written against as she provides a foundation to be built around.
