Layout/Image- The layout on this contents page is emphasized by the contrasting white background and the images behind it. There is 3 columns all together which are all made up of the actual contents and the page number, However there is also a large piece of writing which is slightly segregated from the rest of the text. The images in the background all mostly include people this shows how the models involvement makes the magazine look more social and interesting. The most visible model is wearing bright makeup which brightens the models face and overall look of the page. There is also a total of 8 smaller images line up at the bottom, the images are of models who are showing off clothing which represents the genre of fashion very well.
Colour/Text- The overall colour scheme is very autumnal which is very suited to this particular page due to its been issued in october. The text includes very obvious and straight to the point subheadings. 'BEAUTY, HEALTH AND FITNESS' all represent the ideal woman, it has connotations of youth which is what the readers of this magazine are barley out of for example I would say that the target audience for ELLE is females ages 16+. This also makes the reader think of a healthy, beautiful and fit young woman.
Due to the approach I want to take for my magazine I'm afraid that I don't particularly like the layout of this contents page do to the very busy and over the top layout. Furthermore I really like how the color scheme is inspired by the season this issue was published in, therefore I will take this into consideration when designing my magazine.
