Colour Scheme: A consistent colour theme is used in this contents page, such as; red
and white. The use of a bright, eye catching background makes the white font/text stand out
as white text is placed onto a red background attracting the white copy (text) to show up.

as many magazines usually tend to use at least two or three colours which therefore make
the colour code look efficient. The connotation of using a bright, red background is to; grab
reader’s attention and to also make the white copy (text) look professional and stand out on
a red background.
