Textual Analysis Contents page 1

Language: This contents page, taken from an issue of the Mojo magazine, is conventionally split up in to two sections for easy navigation. One side you have images and the other side you have text, the images obviously relate to the text. The contents list itself is placed down the right-hand side of the page, with pictures on the left. This allows the page to look professional whilst being simplistic and not cluttered with boring amounts of text. You see the use of colours such as black white and red used for the font and this is kept consistent throughout the contents page. The main image you would presume is the one at the top because its larger than the others and is at the top. The way the images are placed randomly and are on top of some others reflects on the genre of the magazine, it is rock and rebellious.

Ideology: This contents page is ideological to the rock and pop genre. The bands situated on the contents page are represented as talented and powerful due to the camera angles. the people situated in all of the images are dressed casually and how most people who like the genre also dress so is ideological of the target audience.
