This contents page is out of a well known magazine called Top of the Pops, the magazine seems to be aimed at girls as the strip at the top is pink,a feminine colour.The editor has included an image of a band that teenage girls love. The images on this contents page are quite small as there are alot of headings for the top stories and the images included are all girly and things that young girls would like, The headings for the top stories are also aimed at girls , i know this because one of them says "we love boys" this has been included as teenage girls tend to think about boys alot, so including this in the magazine will attract the audience that they wanted it to appeal to. The headings for the top stories have all been put in columns and are easy to see and to find, the headings also have page numbers next to them so you dont have to look all the way through the magazine to find the story , you can just go to the page that it gives you and find it much quicker. To make it look more interesting some numbers dont have headings next to them but instead have pictures, this is to make you think and wonder why these pictures are here which will make you want to go to the page it gives you and find out more, they could of also included thes images instead of headings maybe because teens dont like to read alot and like to see pictures too. The images make the contents page look a little more interesting and give a better insight into what the magazine has inside. The headings of the magazine have even been organised more as they have been split into groups with their own heading at the top which tells you stories that are to do with that certain heading, the big heading also links these stories together which makes the magazine look as though it is well organised and well written.
