Contents page sketches

Design 1.


For this contents page the title of the magazine will be at the top centre of the page underlined with the date underneath. Then their will be 2 medium sized images in the centre of the page. And taking up the remaining space of the page will be the stories. The subheadings On the cover and features will be written vertically with a line sepeating the subheadings from the stories like the line underneath the title.



Design 2.

This is my favourite layout/design for the contents page. I looked through a number of magazines music and girl magazines such as mizz and sugar and took some ideas and different elements to help me come up with this design. The title of the magazine i placed in the left corner diagonally then instead of using the actual word 'contents' i used This week in capitals and placed it beside the masthead but straight i also want a bold line underneath separating it from the rest of the page. I got this idea from Nme contents page. On the right of the page in line with this week i placed an image then underneath that image slightly smaller and overlapping i placed another image. On both of them will be the page number. At the bottom right of the page underneath the images i placed a box for either a letter from the editor as that makes the magazine seem freindly and and connects with the reader on a more personal level, or a subscription. On the left side of the page is the text which i have split up into 3 sub-headings that have a box around them that will be filled with a colour to match my colour scheme: white, pink and black. The 3 sub-headings are: On the cover, Features and reveiws.

Design 3.

For the third design there will be a letter from the editor in the top left corner and in the right corner will be an image. The rest of the page will be split into 4 under different subheadings: Features, Reviews, On the cover and Live. I do not really like this layout and its not very effective.
