Colour:The colours used are mainly whites and greens as these are the representative colours of the xbox 360 concolse itself and having them in the xbox magazine makes the reader feel like it is all relevant to them.Screenshots of games are used in the article which all have their unique colours and designs,so the colours are not a constant style through the two pages as they differ from image to image.
Design:The overall design of both pages is very detailed as each subheading comes with some brief detail on the article itself with a page number next to it which makes it very clear what article is on what page.The big articles in the mgazine have a image to themselves and are accompanied by a page number which clearly show you what page they are located on so people are drawn to what article intrests them.The overall text itself is quite small to allow a lot of things to fit on the page such as images and bigger subheadings which enables a lot of different things to be put on the page.The headings right at the top of the page saying the name of the magazine and on the next page saying the month and the contents page give the two pges a bit of contrast between each other and make each one look a bit more tidier rather than just having a white blank space their or more writing.
Images:The images used are of screenshots from games as they are the main things that readers want to see so the writers make a effort to put the best screenshots possible in the magazine relating ot that game.Smaller images are used on the page which just have a page number on the actual image which indicates to the reader this game is on this page without giving out to much detail.
Pose,style,hair,make-up:No pose,style,hair,or make up is used in any of these images as they are all screen shots from games and are just pictures of different things with no particular house style.
How are the words used on the cover:Words on the contents page are used in quite descriptive ways as their is mostly a description after a subheading of a game which will tell you what they will be talking about on that page.In the other magazines ive analysied their seems to be just one word describing whats on a page but inb this magazine their seems to be a more in depth description.
Language:On this page a lot of desriptive and eye catching words seem to be used such as (Exclusive) which makes the reader want to read on and find out why this word is used as it is a intresting word which entises readers to want to turn to that page.The language used is very directed at people who read the magazine regulary as the type of words used can only really be recognised and interpreted in the right way by people who are intrested ingames words such as marketplace content,Achievments,or sandbox.
Overall impression:I think the overall layout of the contents page is a bit bunched up which can make it hard to read but the layout of the images relating to text is done quite well and the size of the text is just right as it is not too hard too read but not too big at the same time. .
