analysing chat magazine's contents page

In this contents page the colours used are very playful and exciting because they do not use one specific colour or font scheme, this contents page includes personal stories which show humor and suggests that this magazine has a less serious approch on the contents page. The way in which language is used in this contents page suggests its aimed more towards a working class audience through the use of slang in the featured articles and only costing 80p per issue. Many of the featured articles also show that they are family houswife related. This also suggests it targets a female audience around the ages 20-45 because featured stories include wrinkles, kids, fashion and girl power which are all connotations of female interests. This can also be suggested through the use of imagery and that it is domantly showing more female images, than male and that all feature stories names below are all female names. All of these real life stories are also spoken from a female perspective, and the colours used in this contents page are pink and purple which are seen as feminine colours. The orgainisation of this contents page seems rather structured in order, where all of the features are in a listing, making it easy to find each story with a corrosponding page number. This contents page advertises, that you can win £25 for sending publications with pictures, and also that you can earn cash for your story. This is a good way to attract the attention as there is a great opportunity to win money in more than one way. Looking at the header of the features of "inside" the magazine has used the same font as the title of the front magazine "chat" with added quotations and arrows similar to the front cover.
