Researching contents pages and creating features for Surge contents page







Date of release

I like the idea of 3 columns with the main stories and larger pictures at the top.

3 columns:
left column - subheadings and content.
Centre column - top half includes pictures an the bottom half includes content.
Right column - pictures.

I don't like how the columns and subheadings are separated with thin black lines. It makes it easy to distinguish what is under each subheading but it looks ugly.



I plan to use a "on the cover" with a small picture of the front cover.


I like that "contents" is in a different colour and a different font from the subheadings.

I like the use of Yellow front for sub headings and numbers because it contrasts with the white and blue. 

I like how the main image is the largest and at the top to attract the readers eye first.

I like the use of a medium longshot to show his body and hands on fire to represent power. The background is black and enhances the sweat coming off him.

I like the use of the models body language. It is large, dramatic and expressive, showing their size and strength. 


I like the shapes and colours used in the background because it makes the picture full of energy.

I like the longshot of the bodybuilder to show his strength but I don't like how it is a silhouette as it makes it impossible to see his facial expression which dehumanises him. Maybe if the reader could see him, they would think that that physic would be possible.  

I like the colour of the yellow font as it is easy to read and blends well with the colour of the fire and burger.


I plan to include information on sport supplements. I would add something to this picture to make it more exciting and eye catching. 


The yellow of the burger blends well with the colour of the fire and font. I would add a caption to this picture as it may seem confusing. This isn't telling the reader if they are for or against eating burgers which would sway a persons decision to buy the magazine.


Everything on this magazines content page is dramatic with very dark and bright colours. The font of the headings, subheadings and content is blocky and bold in colours which stand out from the rest of the page.
