•Simple
•Contents and page numbers
Split into many different categories
Sub- headings
•Main unique font
•Colour scheme
(Black, grey and white)
Links to the subtle abrasiveness undertone of the magazine edition
•Main artist/ image
•Background as well = slums
Gives gritty feel to the edition of the magazine
The contents page shown here is much more plain and simple, however appearance and presentational-wise it still happens to look and work well for the magazine as it’s ‘beauty is in it’s simplicity’, and things are not overly clustered or complicated than they need to be. However, although it is not an over-packed page full of non-necessities, it doesn’t include much and enough detail on it and the page can still appear rather bland.
There are only two images shown, as we see one, which is the main image shown of a focused, mid-shot of Mavado. He is not posing at all, and looks rather grim, and the background being in black and white and looking very gloomy; showing the slums and ghettos of the area he is from. This creates strong authenticity for the artist and the magazine, as there seems to be absolutely nothing that is rehearsed here. There is nothing entirely flashy about his appearance and nothing at all flashy about the background; making the magazine appears incredibly real, personal, bona-fide and down to earth, as this IS the artist and their life, from everything he is wearing to where he is brought up. There is nothing artificial about it.
There is also a small image to the bottom corner of the actual magazine cover which allows the reader to remember who the edition is about in the magazine, as they would’ve been totally defocused by not only the introduction of a new and important artist to the edition, but also the scale of the image of which the artist is in making him almost overwhelm the actual cover artist himself.
The black and white colour scheme of the page in addition also links to the subtle abrasiveness and undertone of the magazine edition, which is going for a much darker feel and expression in contrast to many other magazines or editions.
The page is organised through a clever use of sub-headings and different categories, which is helpful to the reader as it can allow them to have an easier and simpler time navigating through the magazine for what they are looking for.
There is also a main, unique font that is used greatly in order to keep intact with the magazine’s brand identity, and always sub-consciously remind and revive the reader’s memory as to exactly what magazine they are reading, so they can keep buying following editions of the magazine as well.
