Finished Contents Page


This is my finished contents page. At the very top of the page is a black banner, which situates the Masthead and my magazine logo. The white and purple of these two pieces of text contrast well with the black of the banner, and therefore stand out. As they are at the very top of the page, they are also the first things visible upon the page. In smaller, white text is the date and issue number of this particular magazine. Beneath the banner, and towards the left, is the editors note. This is a small paragraph designed to inform the reader of the purpose of each issue, educating them upon what will be found within the content of the magazine and overall what to expect. This includes a small image and signature from the editor who, in this case, is me. There is a small picture situated in the bottom right-hand corner, with a page number corresponding to the item of text which relates to this particular photo. Then, at the very bottom of the page, there is another black banner. Within this, in white text which again creates a contrast, is a small note encouraging the reader to subscribe to the magazine, with a promise to save them £2 on each issue, which is a substantial amount considering my magazine is priced at £3.20. The rest of my contents page is then taken up by a list of contents. This list is split into three sections: regular features, on the cover, and items only featured within this months issue. These lists are divided by bold and capitalized headlines, written in purple to add colour to the page and create a continuous colour scheme throughout the magazine. Each of the page number then continues the same style as the headlines. The titles of each page is displayed next to its corresponding page number, with a small, italicised description of that page located beneath.
