Contents Page Development

Katy Marwood

FIRST VERSION

This was the first version of Encounterscontents page that I created. It’s quite evident that I have looked up to Q magazines for inspiration for this page. The layoutis very simplistic and easy to follow allowingthe reader to gain fast, direct and easyaccess to their desired page.I followed the “indie rock” genre by using black,white and red for my colour scheme.This version of my contents page has the faultof too much white space being seen, therefore I created a newer version of this whilst still followingthe same simplistic layout.

FINAL VERSIONThis is the final version of my magazine Encounters contents page. A lot has changed since the first version that I posted on my blog. Firstly, I removed my masthead from the top of the contents as I felt that it was an unnecessary feature to have. I corrected this by making the word “contents” bold so it stood out to the reader. To take up the remaining white space I added a “letter from the editor” feature and also added “On The Cover” and the title of my magazine to the two sides of the magazine. I made words in each individual page title bold to put emphasis onto them so that the readers attention is caught. The final improvement was adding thick and thin lines to create a border and to divide the contents page up.
