This contents page has a very basic layout. There is a lot of spare space on the page which I think personally makes the magazine look less professional. It has a plain black background with a variety of different bright coloured texts which stand out on the dull background. There does not seem to be a set colour scheme as there is 9/10 different colours. Each genre of the magazine is written in a different colour to make it easier to specify each category. The page numbers go in chronological order and seem to be bolder than the rest of the text, making them stand out. re rest of the text is written in white to keep it simple like the rest of the page, but for it to contrast against the black background. The contents however, is the thing that catches the readers eye the most on the page. It is the largest font and written in the brightest yellow colour. It is presented clearly at the top left hand side of the page.
Down the centre of the contents page is a strip of four rather small mid shots. Each photo is of a different artist, which are the four main articles in this magazine. However, all four images are rather simple and not very eye catching. On the right hand side next to each image is the page number and a quote from the article in which each of the images come from. Using a quote like ‘I’ve never robbed a bank’ makes the reader interested on what the article will be about, making them want to buy it and read on. The volume and issue number is placed on the top right hand corner, with the name of the magazine and year it was published written on the bottom right.
This is not how I would like my contents page to be presented. Although I do not want a very busy contents page, I think I will include a little bit more detail and more interesting images.
