Contents page Inspirations

 

 

I decided for my contents page to research already exsisting contents pages to gather information on the layout and style. 

 

 

 To the left is a generic pop magazine contents page, I can tell this is a pop magazine because of the colour scheme and related images on the page. I like the layout if this contents page because it is easy to follow and simple for the reader to navigate. The layout of this contents page is bright and effective to the target audience. The text boxes and related images help understand the stylistic imapct and the genre of the magazine and age of readers (teenagers). Even though the layout is busy is understandable and creates an effective layout.

 

This magazine is relatively different to the above contents page as it is aimed at older readers and is of different genre, this magazine is linked to the rock genre this is shown through the stylistic layout and colour scheme, the use of dark colours and simple layout adds to the genre. However the layout is easy to navigate and understand making it equally effective as the above contents page but not as visually eye catching.

 

After looking at various magazine front covers for my inspiration I have decided to follow a simple house style, and follow the same colour scheme that is on my front cover. Similarly to the above magazine I am going to have related images to my magazine on the contents page. For the page numbers I am going to make them bold and eyecatching, so the pages are easy to find for the reader.
