Contents Planning and researching



Taken from www.google.com
Before starting my contents page I researched into Music magazine contents pages in order for mine to look proffessional and presentable. Above is a contents of NME's magazine- Firstly I like the bold typeface displaying "This week" as it draws the reader in. In addition the headings on the contents read "news, radar, review, live feature" they are highlighted with a black background which standards out from the rest of the contents due to the white background. I think that i will use this house style on my contents as it goes well with my genre. Also, the page numbers have a different coloured typeface and also colour this draws us to the page and helps the reader find where it is. Additionally the healine of this magazine was Oasis- and a photograph is used in the contents wtih a standfirst situatued below.

Planning of my Contents

After researching into contents pages I decided to do a overall plan showing my layout in Word document. I have decided to use three columns- Including a box suitable for an image. I will place the masthead in the right hand corner.
