The subtitles in this content page have been written in a small bold black font. The information underneath the subtitle is really hard to read, because it’s in a small black font. The model in this content page is there to attract male. The reason for this is because; the model is lying down on her back with her legs up. Also the model is wearing a really short dress and high heels. The stereotype for this model is most appealing to male audiences. The colours in this content page are dull and plain colours. For example, the background is really pale, the title is white and the models clothing is very pale and light.

VIBE.

This is a contents page used in ‘VIBE’ magazine. The title used it white and bold, and easy to read. However, the word ‘CONTENTS’ has been written in a more difficult way to read. The target audience for this content page is male teenagers. You can tell this by the model on the page. The model is someone who every teenager recognizes and someone who teenagers idolize. The colour on this page is mainly red, black and white. The colours represent rock and roll. You can tell this by the way the model is. The model is located in the bottom middle of the page and has a dramatic posture. This content page is more likely to grab the eyes of someone who is into rock and also someone who has lower income to others. The subtitles on this example are much too small. The information underneath the subtitles is too small to understand.
