Analysing Mizz Contents Page

I have chosen to analyse a contents page from Mizz magazine as Top Of The Pops magazine does not have a contents page.

The title of the page has been put in a sans serif font and in bold. It has also been put in red against a white background and the boldness and the red makes it stand out. However the title of the page hasn't been made very big and has been put off centre so it isn't very clear where the title is.

The rest of the font on the page has also been written using a sans serif font. The writing is small and hard to read but then there is not a lot of it which makes it easier to read.

The use of colour on this page are all different colours but they are all bright colours. Bright colours are associated with the younger audience and so that is why bright colours have been chosen.

The use of language on this page is more informal than formal. It uses informal language such as 'Caught Out!' and ' Bag a Bargin' to try to communicate with the younger audience. The language used have also got catchy titles that will stick in people's head. The younger audience generally use abbreviations and catchy saying which is why they have used them for this type of magazine.

The target audience for this magazine is young females based on the pictures, language and colour. Older females wouldn't generally buy a magazine based on the use of bright colour and with pictures of Disney stars on the page.

The images on this page are mainly Disney stars from the Disney film 'High School Musical'. The picture is of Zac Efron who is a member of the cast. He will help sell issues as he is a love interest to some females. The photo is a live photo taken at something like the premier of a film. The star is an internationally known star which helps to sell issues as more people know who he is. Another image on the page is of a model modelling clothes. This will help sell issues to young females as young females are just coming into that stage where they are interested in clothes.

The main sells on this page are all the titles of the articles. They have been placed under specific headings which make it easier to read and have been coloured coded which makes it easier to follow. It also draws people to that part and makes them want to read on.

This magazine had 66 pages. The issue cost £2.10 which I think is a bit over priced for this magazine. This magazine is bought by younger females and should be pocket money price so younger females can buy it.

There are not any main flashes on this page, just main sells.
