Analysis of XXL - Contents Page - Case study1


In the XXL contents page, the first thing that would draw attention to the readers would be the main image; it would also allow the audience to understand that this person would be the main feature in the magazine. The main image is a medium long shot which allows the audience to establish what the model is wearing. The fact that she is posing in that specific way is significant as it demonstrates how she is feeling – in this case the model is happy and is feeling joyful and looking relaxed. Furthermore, there are no names or titles which link with the main image which suggests that the readers would be able to recognise who it is.
The page numbers are placed on the left hand side of the page and are evenly in sections. This makes it easier for the readers to read and understand where to look for what they specifically want to read. The structure of this contents page is basic, simple and is placed into categories which allows the reader to know what to expect and where it would be in the magazine.  The section ’first of the month’, demonstrates that the specific topic would be regularly on the magazine.

Moreover, the logo is included, which illustrates the importance of getting the audience familiarised to the logo. The logo is also the only item which is red, which stands out from the rest of the images and fonts.
