House Style.

The colour of contents page is black text with a red subheading to separate the titles from text. The colours black and red represent important information because of the size of the writing attracts the Woman’s market because when they read this magazine, they would feel that they would want to aspire to be the person in the magazine and they would want to know where they could get the equivilant  of what is in the magazine without the celebrity price tag.

Use of Language to get attention

The Contents page uses a variety of languages to get the audiences attention. The contents pages uses persuasive language to get their audiences attention. This is achieved by the editor putting words and phrases such as “Get a 12 month magazine subscription for the price of 10.” This attracts the Target Audience because they would be interested in this magazine and they would subscribe because they may find a free gift.

The colour scheme used with the Prima contents page is basic. This is because the main colour scheme for the font is red title with black writing. This is good for the Woman’s market because they like to look and also decide to take in the images and read all the little bits of detail which the contents page has to offer. Also in the top right hand corner, I notice that the free gift page appeals to the Woman’s market because Prima is a Woman’s lifestyle magazine which contains all the latest gossip about different fashion trends and how to cook different foods.
