CONSTRUCTION OF MY CONTENTS PAGE

This is my first contents page. I feel that there are too many gaps on the page itself, in the top left corner there is a massive gap which I should put another picture in. I also need to work on my layout, I will continue to look at magazine contents pages to keep a fresh idea of the contents pages in my head. I also need to add more colour.

I have now added more colour, I added a red border around main core, the red colour also suits the colour scheme. The contents page sticks to my colour scheme – red, white and black. I also changed the colour of the page number & information under the headline, this was to draw more attention to it and it also adds vibe and character to the page.

I asked for feedback from my classmates for my contents, a key area was that there was too much space on the page and a good way to overcome this was to add another sub heading, this will increase interest to my magazine as there will be more to read about, plus I added a competition which will interest more people.

After looking at more contents pages, I have changed the layout, I moved the regulars section to the left hand side of the page just above the features section, I did this as I feel it fits better, also lots of magazines lay their contents like this. I will now focus on the pictures.

I have added another image, this time of Beats headphones, I did this as I am doing a review of the headphones in my magazine, the image will interest owners/potential owners into buying the magazine to see what they’re like. Inbetween the gap I will most likely add an editors note or more information about the magazine.

I decided to add an editors notice. Most magazines that use this pride themselves on repeat purchase, it adds a key, yet personal element to the magazine which I like. I also added a signature to make it even more personal to the readers. This is my finished contents page.
