The colours that i have used for certain parts of the contents page are used for different reasons. The yellow star beneath the image of the contents was used as the colour yellow would symbolise something special that would shine to the reader. Also the band list is in the colour red which makes them stand out from the rest of the page which is denoted with a blue background in order that the audience are attracted to this particular part.
I decided to divide the contents into features and so forth as this will make it easier for readers who may be new to the magazine but people who may of read it before.
The advertisements that are used in the contents page are all aimed at the target audience who would read the magazine as it would be inappropriate to advertise for the wrong type of audience. Also the competitions of the magazine are aimed at the mainstream which is why the competition features something that the target audience will like.
