The next process of creating my magazine is going to be analysing different college and school magazines and observing how they layout their contents pages and what they include. This will give me an accurate insight to what I will include in my contents page and how I make up my mind on deciding the page layout.
This particular contents page includes different images which reflect the topics of the magazine. This is effective because it co-operates well with the context of the entire magazine. As well as this, the colours chosen for the magazine seem to compliment each other well with the contrasting darkness and boldness of the black against the light softening blue. However, I do not like the use of the font used to create the title of "Contents."
This contents page differs from the previous one as it has went with more of a formal technique to it with a simple yet bold font for the title as well as strict even sized images. This magazine has decided to organiser the contents page into two sections being the "FEATURE CONTENT" and the "REGULAR CONTENT." This provides the audience with an easy guide to viewing the magazine and staying interested. However, I think the simplicity of the contents page could cause the reader to lose interest. Also, I feel that the images used lack the sense of professionalism and realism.
This contents page of a particular magazine differs from the ones previous as instead of simply being a page used only as a contents page, a smaller box indicating where topics can be located has been included in the bottom right hand corner. I like this idea as I think it doesn't take up too much unnecessary space that doesn't need to be used simply for a contents page. Although, I do think that the contents feature could possibly be overshadowed and missed due to the intensity of content on the rest of the page.
