Contents Font/Features The font I used on my contents page is the same font throughout, which I felt looked more attractive and maintained the ordered consistency. I chose to have all my font in capital letters, not only because it reflected the font I used on some parts of my front cover, but because it made it easier to read as well as made it look appealing. The font fits my genre as it is quite a sophisticated font, which is what tends to be used on indie/indie rock magazines, such as Rolling Stone. I have different features on my contents page, such as what is commonly seen in magazine; a ‘Reviews’ section. I chose to have a section for reviews as it made my magazine more realistic, especially with the captions I have under the headers, such as ‘Panic! – Good, Bad or Dirty?’ which is a reference to one of their songs on their new album. The only graphics I am using are the arrows to separate the contents headers, which links to my front page as arrows are a theme that runs throughout my magazine. I did have a graphic for my page numbers, but felt it took away the minimalistic effect. Another feature I have that stands out to me is the ‘Apollo Quiz’. Some magazines feature quizzes in their magazine, and I decided it was a nice feature to have as it made it seem interesting and fun. I also have a ‘What we love’ section, as it would give the audience a direct and personal insight into what artists love and the editors too.

Contents Font/FeaturesThe font I used on my contents page is the same font throughout, which I felt looked more attractive and maintained the ordered consistency.

Here are some close ups of my features and fonts. The first one is the ‘News’ feature, with a list of artists and small caption underneath. There is then the Contents itself, which features the name of my magazine underneath it, separated by the same arrow graphic. The pictures I have are all aligned so they are even and in line how I wanted them. The photo seen here is of a concert that I attended (Hozier) and I decided to feature this image in my magazine after receiving feedback that a concert image would look good. It makes it look more authentic and creative.
