Contents Page Conventions
Page 1
Page 2
These contents pages are taken from MixMag November 2010
Bold Title - (CONTENTS)
Magazine Logo - page 1 Top Right, page 2, Top Left.
Page numbers - to show which page contains what content.
I really like how the contents page numbers are located on some of the images, this shows that what is featured in this image is featured in more detail on that page. The page number font and the title font are the same. This shows consistancy, that the main and most important texts are in the same eye catching font.
Pictures - to demonstrate examples of content. Used as an alternative to writing 'Dance Music Page.' They instead have used a picture of two girls dancing, the lighting indicates a club and party atmosphere. By using the picture they are using representation.
"A picture captures a thousand words."
Subscriptions - to attract the audience to the offers in that magazine, page 2.
Regulars - Headers that are featured monthly on the contents page of this sperfic magazine
- VIP
- Features
- Fashion
- Tunes
- Tech
- Don't Stay In
These are all relative to the magazine genre and are appropriate to be featured within this magazine. The headers must be something that can be used month after month. Meaning a heading for one month could not be
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS, because the following month this would be irrelevant. I will make sure that the subheadings i chose to use for my magazine would be relevant from month to month.
Page Layout - The layout must be easily understood yet it cannot be boring. It must attract the audience to read it and yet not give away too much of the actually content, ruining the articles used. A good balence of these 2 aspects must be made to create the right layout for a contents page.
