This contents page has one main image of an iconic star: Katie Perry. The image of the model herself is central and takes command of the whole page; the mushroom she is holding is almost as big as her and is covering some of the masthead which is effective as it draws your attention to the image itself. The plain background works well with the red colours as they contrast well making them bold and evident. The image has a direct gaze and her facial expression is very shocked, this draws enigma to the model and why she has this expression making it appealing to the audience. The layout of the contents page is very simplistic which makes the image even more striking.

The masthead is black, which makes it bold due to the white contrasting background, this also means that it stands out well; this makes it obvious what it says without drawing the main attention to it. The header is underneath the masthead which makes it easy to see and this added information is key to the magazine, as it gives the issue date of the magazine so the reader knows if they have bought the most up to date one. However part of the image is covering a small part of the masthead,  this makes it more evident as it is clear what is being said even when a small part is blocked out.

The mushroom looks like the outfit Katie Perry is wearing but upside down, also they are of similar sizes, I think this has been done to reflect her music and her attitude of fun. Also the colour scheme used is simple, black white and reds, these all work well together and make sure that the page is not to in your face and looks professional.

The bottom corner next to Katie Perry there is a quote which is from her; this makes the contents page more personal and also interesting to the reader. It may be a direct link to an article that is in the magazine which is being used as bait and to make the reader want to read that specific article. This makes the main focus on Katie Perry due to the image and personalisation of the quote on the front cover.
