Analysis of contents page




















My first intial design came from the idea of Q magazine with a few images to make the page look interesting. The features are listed in the top left hand corner below the title of the contents page, by placing the features here is is quick and simple to find. The page number is at the bottom of the page and will be in this particular place throught out the magazine to give it a house style. There will be big page numbers on the images so if the image appeals to the reader they can instantly find the article realting to this image.




















Initial idea two: My second design has a editors letter on the left hand side of the page, this is common in most magazines and therefore can be viewed as a typical music magazine. A large image of the artist will be placed in the top right hand corner of the page drawing the readers eye. The features will be under different sections according to what that feature relates to. Again this is typical of magazines i have viewed and analysed and so it will look professional.




















Inital idea three: My final initial idea has the one main image on the right hand side of the page. This contents page looks good with the one image as it is so large and therefore will not need smaller images surrounding it to make it look interesting. The name of the magazine will be across the top of the page rather than the word contents which can sound slightly childish at times. The date of the issue will be under this heading as well as the magazines website, this is helpful for the reader. Similar to initial design two the features of the magazines will be under headings, i used this idea again as i think it works well and looks neat.
