Magazine Contents Page

 

This is my final contents page. I have used the feedback I was given in order to improve my contents page. I had originally had one large picture on the left side of the page of the girl who is also on my front cover, my feedback suggested that I should add more pictures of other people as if the reader doesn't like 'Eden Dee' they may not want to look at and read my magazine as she is on the front cover and was the only picture on the contents page. I looked back at my magazine research to use the contents pages to help me improve my contents page, two of the three had multiple pictures positioned throughout the page so I therefore decided to use this technique for my front cover. The three pictures I have used are relevant to the articles within my magazine, under each picture shows which page in the magazine the article regarding the picture of the person is located. I decided to use a pink textured background for the background of the contents page to continue the colour scheme and to show that the target audience for my magazine is teenage girls as I have used the colour pink and have included pictures of teenage girls in my contents page in order to attract my target audience to read my magazine. My feedback suggested that I move the article titles and page numbers up to make more use of the space so I did this. I was also told that I needed to include the page number of the contents page so I did this and put it in the bottom corner as this is where page numbers normally go and is a convention of magazines. To make use of the space at the bottom of the page I have added a contact us page in order for the reader to find the POP Magazine social networks. I have included a picture of my magazine cover at the top of the contents page as I saw this done during my research in Top of the Pops Magazine. I have followed the magazine conventions I saw during my research by having a title at the top of the page to show the purpose of the page, a page number at the bottom of the page, a variety of pictures and have sectioned by article titles into categories of Features and Regulars as I saw this done during my research. I have used random page numbers of where in the magazine the articles are and have made sure that the don't go up in ascending order as in the magazines I looked at during my magazine they were in random order as the location of the article within the magazine will depend on the category the article come under for example Features and Regulars. I have also mainly used odd numbers as new articles normally start on the left side of the page, I saw this during my magazine research. 

I have mainly used all of the space on the page to and separated the article titles to the pictures so that it is clear and easy to read. I have continued to use the grey, black, white and variations of pink and purple colour scheme for the contents page of my magazine to make it constant throughout. The colours I have used are suitable for a pop magazine as during my research I found that colours ascosiated with pop are bright and patels like. My contents page is suitable for my target audience of teenage girls due to the colours I have used, the style and layout and the pictures of teenage girls I have used on the contents page to attract my target audience to read the magazine.
