This is an untypical contents page as the main masthead ‘contents’ is separated, however this is common in all ‘vibe’ magazine’s, this is distinctive and will remain something that the magazine is well known for. It is effective as even though it is not ‘normal’ you can still see clearly what it says and it still stands out as the main typography.

The contents page has one main image which dominates the majority of the page, it is an iconic star: Kayne West. This may be used to entice the reader due to his presence. There is an arm around the neck and chest of this star which connotes him as a sexual object as he is being grabbed. Also the flower on his blazer is in colour and is the only image on the page that has colour on; this makes it stand out as a significant prop as it stands out due to the colour contrast. The models direct mode of address is to the reader this is a commonly used effect as it makes the page seem personal to the reader and this is a selling technique. The seriousness of the models facial expression and body language leaves enigma in the mind of the reader as to why he looks serious/upset? He is also dressed very smart, in a shirt and blazer and this keeps up his appearance as he is renowned for his dress sense and style.  

There is a variety of typography used; this makes the font look professional and also unique as it is not boring for the reader to look at. As well, there are sections of different fonts and this makes the contents page look thought out and quite formal to the eye. The contents have been placed well on the right hand side, they are informative and let the reader know where the main pages are and the information that they need. Any added information is underneath this, in the bottom right corner; this is so the reader always has access to this information and also helps the marketing of vibe as well as helping the reader feel more involved.

The basic background works well as the contrast makes the model stand out and also shows the ‘V’ for Vibe stand out and be more evident to the reader.
