Contents page research


These are some of the contents pages that I have found. As you can see most of the pictures and one page as it is more common in magazines than double page. However there some that are double spread and have more images and text than single as it has more space to include more images and text to show the reader whats included. The conventions of a contents page is that there is a title, use of images, uses a column structure, contents heading, page numbers, house style eg. colour font, layout, composition, captions- anchorage. Each Contents page has a picture of the main story which is on front cover to go with the issue. Some magazines have issue numbers at the top of the page instead of a title to show variety and to have the front cover next to it represent it. The House style is normal and it keeps the same colour scheme as the front cover. However it leaves the background plain white to show the text more clearly and give images more attraction instead of blending in to a dark background. The images are scattered in different issues providing more of a new attractive view for the reader. In these contents pages the text represented as stories are normally located on one side of the magazine providing room to fill in more stories and information.
