Chosen Ideas For Contents Page

I have decided that I will use, "In This Issue:" as my contents page title, because it doesn't follow the typical conventions of a magazine by simply saying "contents". This shows the audience that my magazine will be different and unique. If it simply followed every other magazine that said "contents", it would make it appear boring. So by using this decision I hope to make my magazine more appealing to the audience.

I have decided that I will use the colours, Red / Black / White as my contents page colour scheme. This is because I used these three colours on my front cover and I want to continue with the same flow throughout the magazine. This gives the magazine a flow, which makes reading it much easier for the audience.

I have decided that I will use multiple images on my magazine contents page. These images will consist of various focal shots, some with a whole body pose and others with close up facial shots which give the audience a wide variety of images that will keep the engaged in the page. However, the large amount of images isn't just for display. Many people will not read much on a contents page if there is a lot of text. So if you place an image next to a passage of text and they both link together as a story, the audience are more likely to read it, as they have a visual reference to go with the feature.

I have decided that on my contents page, I will use all of the fonts which I placed on my front cover. These being IMPACT LABEL, WILL&GRACE, GEORGIA and ARIAL NARROW. This is because I want to keep fluidity to my magazine, making sure I carry the same themes on throughout my magazine. Seen as these fonts all represent the punk genre of music. I will mainly use WILL&GRACE for sub-headings and IMPACT LABEL for the title and smaller pieces of text that need to stand out on my contents page. I am going to use GEORGIA and ARIAL NARROW for the majority of writing on the page because it is easy to read and gives the page a sophisticated look, as well as appealing to the target audience.
