Contents Page Research

After analysing and annotating three Contents page, I have tried to discover the common features of a contents page of a pop magazine. I have done this research so that I can apply these features to the magazine that I will be producing (Music Magazine). With this research that I have currently just completed, along with the research that I had conducted during the preliminary task, I feel as though now I fully understand the features of a contents page of a magazine and will be able to apply them to magazine that I will be producing. Below are print screens of the three researches that I conducted: After showing this research I have released there some key elements to following codes and conventions of a contents page for a magazine. These are things such as; keeping to a strict border line, use images to make the page more attractive and give an extra insight into what is in the magazine, use images were the character is looking at the audience, use a variety of colours and fonts, avoid dead space, the use a big bold and to use a masthead to clearly display what the page is and try to make this masthead clear to the audience. All of these features are ones that I will be trying to apply when creating my first drafts.
