TOC Analysis

The table of contents is located on the 13th page of Glamour, followed by tons of ads for products such as Olay Anti-Aging Kit and DKNY Jeans. It is organized in sections based on the topic of the article, such as news, men, fashion, look, and love. It also gives you the pages of the cover stories. Their is not a lot of text used, just titles and three word descriptions. The titles of the articles are written in bold font followed by descriptions of their content in a smaller, less exciting lettering. The main color scheme is girly, keeping it similar to the cover. The titles and numbers are written in a baby blue and the rest is a simple black and white. There are very few pictures used but the ones featured are eye-catching. A picture of a couple kissing is placed up top and a cute lipgloss is pictured below, each with a description of the article they are referring too. Some conclusions I can draw from looking at this table of contents is that the readers are mostly women based on articles such as, "Best in Shoe," "Beauty News," "Stud Meter," and "Fall's Sexiest Hairstyles." Also, I can tell they want to appeal to a younger audience because of how "risque" the pictures and articles are. Most older women wouldn't want to read about "New Ways to Bring Down the House," or "Seduce Him!" Taylor Swift is profiled and interviewed, also proving they are appealing to a much younger audience.
