Contents Page General Research

 

 

This contents page is very simple with there only being one image which takes up a third of the page, then all of the articles and page numbers are down the left hand side of the page. This is a layout that I will definitely consider when it comes to designing my contents page. Additionally there is a white background and then everything else is layered on top of it, this white background will go with my front cover as it too has a white background. Additionally this is from Q magazine which is the same magazine that I used for my front page research and like on the front cover there is a colour theme of the colour red and so the colour theme that I use on the front cover will be the same colour I use on the contents page.

 

This contents page is also from Q magazine and once again there is a colour scheme of red, which is used to highlight words and separate words too. This contents page has got lots of images on and so this is something that I will not be doing. However I like that most of the images are not straight as this breaks up the conventional appearance of a contents page. Additionally I like that the contents page is all on one page as I think that this prevents the two pages going on for too long. I have noticed that there is approximately 155 pages and so this will be a number that my magazine goes up to.

This contents is over 2 pages and this means that there is the opportunity to fit more on the page, however I prefer the contents page to only be on one page as I feel that it will all be in one place, making find something easier. Also this contents page is very busy and so I will try and so something with 3 pictures maximum to avoid this. The image for page 46 is something that I think is effective, and so I will try and get my model to mimic the pose and look. This photo shoot will then be the basis of my double page spread.

 

 

This contents page is much simpler than the two previous contents pages and therefore is something that I will consider when designing my contents page. The name of the magazine is still very prominent on this page and therefore I will ensure that I have the name of the magazine somewhere on the page where the user will be able to see it easily.
