Contents

Above is my finished contents page. I stuck to my plan for my contents page and changed very few things. I had so many pictures from my photo shoot and wanted to incorporate as many as possible so I decided to place them onto a contact sheet. Contact sheets as used by editors of magazines to help them decide which images to use so I thought it tied in very well with my magazine. I took a normal contact sheet and placed my images onto it; I then scanned it into my computer and used it as the background for my contents page.

I kept the same colour scheme as the front page, purple, blue, black and white. I believe this makes my magazine look more professional as I have carried my colour scheme on to this page. I also used the same bold font from my mast head for the word “Contents” so that it clearly stood out at the top of the page and ensures readers know which page it is. The rest of the text on the page is letting the audience know what is coming up in the magazine, and not just what is on the front cover but also other articles that will be included. I used a large front for my page numbers and a smaller, simpler font for the description of what is included on that page. When writing descriptions of what the articles where about I put a key word first in bold and then went onto to describe.

I placed the text on the opposite sides of the page to what I said I was going to on my plan; this is because I wanted to cover as few pictures as possible. Therefore I decided to place my “Also featured” section to the left hand side so that it covered the blank black section at the bottom of my page. The pictures are fairly small and quite difficult to see however I still think my contents page works well. It is different from any contents page I have previously looked at in my research. If I was to change anything I would make my images slightly larger and perhaps include more tasters of articles coming up within the magazine, however I did not want to cover too many pictures.
