I have finished creating the contents page for my magazine. As you can see I have now included all the contents of my magazine. I decided to put the text into collumns to make the page look well organised and well presented and professional. I also separated the articles of the magazine into different sections such as 'Live Reviews' and 'News' so that the readers can easily select the type of article they want to read and are most interested in. This is something that I found a lot of rock magazines tend to do.
I have included inducements on my contents page to interest the readers. I have also used the inducements that were featured on the front page. This helps the readers to link the two pages together so you can easily identify that the two pages belong to the same magazine. I have used the 'FREE LARGE POSTER' and the chance for the readers to win free tickets to their favourite gigs. By doing this I can effectively attract the readers attention.
I have included the issue number underneath the contents heading so the readers can identify which issue they are reading which helps them to keep up to date. I have also included the magazines name (PULSE) on the page so the readers can get familiar with it and know what magazine they are reading.
I have used red stars to highlight important articles in the magazine to make them stand out. These highlighted articles were the ones featured on the front cover. Again this helpes the two pages link together. I have stuck to the same consitent house styles of red, yellow, black and white to make the magazine look professional and well-presented. I decided to only use one main image on my contents page as I felt any more images would have made the page look to crammed and would draw too much attention away from the main image and the actual contents of the magazine.
