Vibe Contents page

This contents page is from vibe magazine and uses the typical conventions of contents pages used in many magazines. For example one of the typical conventions of a contents page is they have number enabling the audience to be able to find the page they are looking for alot easier otherwise if they didnt have page numbers it would be alot more awkward for the audience to look for the page they want. Another typical convention which the vibe magazine contents page uses is picture this allows the audience to get an idea of what type of music magazine they are buying as the pictures featured are usually of artists which are well known to a certain type of genre allowing the audience to make a straight distinguised link between the featured artists pictures and the type of magazine they are reading.
However this contents page goes against the typical contents page for one main reason the fact that it says contents page 3/3 suggest that 2 more contents pages were printed in order to cater to diffrent types of artists to attract more of a variety of diffrent audiences which is a good idea as they are more likely to have more readers if they are projecting diffrent images by printing diffrent contents pages and also diffrent front pages as seen on one of my analysis of the front pages before they also promote there website in the contents page allowing the audience to consume their product in diffrent ways to suit them which is more likely to be more appealing to the audience as they have more freedom of choice. The contents page address the audience directly as it seems almost as it is talking to the audience for example it says 'chris rock is back' suggesting that you are telling someone that he is back therefore making the magazine seem as it is addressing you directly which is going to have more of a sucessful impact as it makes the reader feel more involved with the magazine and it also makes it seem more personal.
