The title has been written in a unique style which has been fragmented on to three different lines. It is also written in a bold black font which makes it easier to catch the reader’s attention on such a plain background.

The colour scheme is effective as the entire page is in black and white and the only pop of colour that is used is the red heart which is placed on the artist’s body. The red colour contrasts from the rest of the contents page, making it eye-catching.

There is a variety of fonts used to make the contents page look more unique and professional. The fonts used for the different sections of the magazine makes the page look more fancy and formal.

The contents page uses a large bold title to attract attention to the page. The use of the powerful word ‘Love’ indicates to the reader that there will be something interesting on this page, enticing them to read it.

The use of the blocked black and pink here gives the page consistency because of the black headline and the pink in the background. The fact that the page numbers are in darker and bolder text draws more attention to them.

The constant use of yellow and white at the bottom right hand corners to display page numbers shows consistency throughout the page. Most of the images use more subtle colours than the bright yellow. This helps the page numbers to stand out so the reader knows which page to turn to for that respective article.

Many images have been used to create variety and to keeps the readers interested in the magazine.
