This is a contents page of the magazine 'Vibe, and it has the famous artist Kanye West largely printed on it. We known is is a contents page because the word 'contents' is written in the right hand corner of the page, but the word is split up into three lines, which is very unique for the contents page.  
This contents page is printed in black and white.The background and picture in different shades of gray and all the text on the page is in black. They are very simple colours and makes it very stylish and modern. Although the page is printed in black and white there is a small red heart that appears mysteriously by a women hand on Kanye West's chest. This could indicate that the issues could included things about his personal love life.

The 'v' placed o the background behind the picture, makes it clear that the contents page belongs to the magazine 'Vibe'. The 'v' is a faint Grey colour and it is fixed on the background. Although the 'v' is the largest thing of the page it doesn't stand out as much as the other text on the page because it is a  similar colour to the background colour.

The layout of the contents page is easy for the reader to read and find out where to find things in the magazine. The information of what is in the magazine is clear and highlights what exactly will be in the issue. The contents includes things like a 'fashion' part and Kanye West is wearing something that is modern day fashion.

The background colour of the magazine is just a simple Grey and it is darker Grey in some parts of page.








This contents page focuses on the rap artist Eminem. He is wearing a smart suite and is stood in front of a red curtain and he is portrayed in half a shadow. This is ideology for the dark music produced in him album. He is looking directly into he camera with a cunning looking, showing he is a professional at what he does and is at the top of his game in the rap bussiness. 

The contents features are placed on the right hand side of the page and is written in a small font so the attention isn't taken away from the picture of Eminem. The word 'contents' doesn't appear on the page, but it clear that it is a contents page from the 'features' sub-title and the page numbers down the left side of the text.
