The title of the contents page is the month of the magazine issue, the title is big and in all capital letters which makes it clear and easy to see and read, however still keeping the playfulness going from the cover with the bright pink colour and stars in the background, yet again catering to the target audience. The contents page is divided into 2 columns which is a convention of magazines, this is done as it makes it clear for the audience what to read first and everything is set out neatly. The categories of the contents page have catchy names using terms and slang that teenagers use to make it more appealing to their targeted age of the audience. At the bottom of the page there is a small paragraph with credits which gives the audience insight on who the models that were photographed in this magazine are as well as who worked on the design, photographer , editor, executive director etc. this gives the readers an insight into the behind the scenes of making the magazine and also makes it more personal. The main image on the page is the largest, and is a picture of a teenage girl which further reasures the readers that the targeted audience for this magazine is of younger women/ teenage girls.

This page has a clear title at the top stating “in this issue” which is the biggest and attracts the viewer first, so it’s known what this page is all about. Over the catchier title, it states the volume and date of release of the magazine, so the viewer clearly knows which edition this is.
The layout, again, is very minimalistic, only the basic information is shared in the contents “table” such as the page, the title and the topic. Below the table there is some more information shared regarding the contents that would not fit right in the table. Below this, it’s mentioned what is on the cover, and where you could read more about that. The colour scheme used is very minimalistic; whites, nudes and earthy tones. This makes the magazine look simple, focused and elegant.
