Contents Page Draft Analysis

Layout

The title "Contents" run across the top of the page in big capital letters which make it bold and eye catching. This can help highlight the important of the page.

I have included the date under the title so that the reader can see if they are up to date with the magazine issue.

The magazine logo is in the top left hand corner. This will run throughout the whole magazine to repeat the brand name making it more memorable which is part of my house style.

I have put the website and page number in the bottom right hand corner. This provides another form of media to view the magazine and fits with the magazine's house style. The page number also makes the magazine easier to navigate.

The page is layed out in two columns to make the page simple and easy to navigate. It also makes the page neater and therefore more appealing to the eye. This also compliments the magazine's house style. The pictures will be on the left, which will include the page numbers to show the page the artist is featured on. I have placed the list of text on the right of the page. This is because it is known that the reader first looks at the right hand side of the page and so by doing this they will immediately get an idea of what the magazine will include. This in turn can tempt the reader to look at the rest of the magazine.

Other Features
For the subtitles such as 'features' and 'news' I will use a bold but also "swirly" font to echo the female orientated target audience.
