Further Research

 After researching various contents pages, I have identified certain featuers which are consistent throughout each magazine. I will therefore use these features while designing my own contents page.


I have cut out the contents list from three of the contents pages. The middle one and right hand one have a main title: 'features' and 'this week', while the two end ones have sub-headings. The left cutting has two headings: 'features' and 'fashion' while the right hand one has 9 sub-headings, seperating the articles more thoroughly in certain categories. All 3 sections show that the articles are listed with the page number on the left hand side. The two left hand ones have written the name of the article in a bold font, making it the most obvious part and a short description is below. Specific colour schemes can also be seen in each of these contents lists. The left is black, grey and blue. The centre one is red, black and gold and the right one is black and yellow.




Here are the titles of each contents page. The left one is clearly the most irregular but still shows similarites to those on the right of it. The left title and 'Q' title are in very similar fonts which are in white with a black background, making it very bold and obvious. Similarly, the yellow title is in a bold font against a black background. The colour schemes I identified with the contents lists are also shown in the titles, making it consistent and all link together. The left title and yellow one are both situated on the top right hand corner of the page while the other is in the left hand corner. However, all cover half the width of the page and are against the edge of the page, which I will also do.
