Wheels (Contents page) Analysis #1

This is a content page from a magazine called 'Wheels' its an Australian automotive magazine. They are publish by Bauer media group, this magazine is well known by Australians car enthusiasts.

Light grey/ white back ground shows simplicity and elegance so it doesn't attract all the attention from the cars. It features 2 cars the red one which is a Ferrari 488 GTB and the bark blue one which is a BMW 3 Series, both are a contrast to each other as well as the background which makes them stand out. The pages are grouped together under what its about, so people could see what they want to read. e.g if they want to read about reviews about cars on their first rides they would look at the topic 'first drives' and pick wha car they want to read about. 
The main image is a red Ferrari 488 GTB which i said earlier its red because its Ferrari's distinctive colour, when we mention Ferrari people will usually think about a fast, expensive, red car, so this is why they choose red and its also flashy, eye catching. The BMW 3 series is more of a comfy elegance car, so its in dark blue which is more formal and less flashy.
The Ferrari is taken from high angel to show the engine at the back, its a rear wheel drive(only the 2 back whees is connect to the engine) car so showing that the engine is at the back means they don't need a join to connect the engine at the front to connect with the wheels at the back, this means that the car will be able to produce more power, rear wheels mean the car has better control than front wheel.
The BMW is been taken from a low angle to show its distinctive radiator grill, its a secondary image thats why its small and not very eye catching.  The title is "Contents" serif font in bold sitting in the middle, and under theres is the date of the next issue telling the readers when it will be released its in grey, so it won't attract to much attention theres a red stripe on the left hand side witch fit in to the house style.

  1. Ryu, again there is some good analysis here. However, it isn't the easiest thing to read!
