Research – Analysis contents page

The magazine uses 1 image and it has been constructed in a large format to stand out. They support my initial findings about the style of the magazine in a well organised manner and it is well structured to the intended target audience.
 The colours used are mostly white with a bit of yellow and a black background colour. It supports the style of the font cover very well because it creates a theme related to the picture and background.
 The fonts used are Calibri (Body) with some italic sections. This doesn’t really support the style of the front cover. The information is organised in chronologic format so it’s easier to read and understand. The different sections are who got juiced? , Andre young is still buzzing, dying to live, table for one and hunting season. This tells us that the magazine is well organised and structured; however there are no promotional features.
There is no magazine logo placed on this page so nothing is dominant. The brand does have other franchises, and these are promoted on the contents page.

On the front cover of the magazine it says Diddys commission, this implies a command. The overall message is the 15th Anniversary Juice Issue.
