Contents Page Analysis: Billboard


The simple layout of this contents page represents it as popular magazine. However the layout is filled quite heavily with text, this connotes that there is a lot to be read about in the magazine. The colour palette sticks to the same simple colours in the logo; black, red, yellow, blue and green. This represents it as a well known magazine. Because of the simple layout of this contents page I feel it aims at a slightly older target audience. However I do feel that it fits Stanley Hall's 1904 theory that "Adolescence is a time of stress and storm, making teenagers common mood a state of depression." The pale blue and grey effect of the page almost seems like it connotes sadness and a dull setting for the magazine.
