Conventions of Magazine - Contents Page

When researching contents pages I realised there was a similar look to all of them, but as the ideology of my magazine is that it is independant and unique I wanted to avoid this.

From the images below you can see that a typical contents page consists of a couple of pictures with the features inside broken into separate sections.

I wanted my magazine to look different and I also wanted it to look more mature and sophiticated.

I then looked at a few more magazines such as Plan B and Artrocker. Their contents looked like this.

And I thought the single picture surrounded by the contents looked more mature then many pictures so this was the angle I went with. As you can see by my final contents page I took alot of inspiration from these.

Conventions of a contents page include...

Pictures

Features

Page Numbers

Multiple Colours

Title

Picture of the cover

I have still included most of these in my final version but I have changed the way the page looks to fit the ideology of my audience.
