Analysis of contents page.

This is a contents page for the magazine Vibe. Just from looking at it, you can tell that this contents page is for Vibe as in the background there is a huge 'V' and 'V' is the logo for Vibe. I like the way that the title 'contents' is set out. This is a really unique style and I have never seen this before. The colours used are quite plain and boring; black, grey and white. However, it does fit in with Barack Obama's suit. I like the way the features of the magazine are down one side of the model, however, I think if they were placed differently and used up more of the white space that is available then it would look more interesting and would be making better use of the whole page. The fact that the image of Obama is big and fits the whole page from top to bottom is good, as this is filling up enough space so that there isn't too much white space. He is also using direct address so this is like he is looking out of the magazine, at the reader and so we as the audience are attracted to the contents page and feel personally addressed by Barack Obama to read the page.
