Codes and Conventions of a
 Magazine Contents Page
        Annie Johnson
Commonly, there is always one main
image on each contents page of a
magazine.




There are also usually several smaller
images through out the page relating to
the stories inside the magazine.
In a contents page there is the page numbers
 down the side, next to the page numbers there
 usually is a brief sentence about what is on each
 page.
However, in each magazine next to the page
number they never have the word page.




Each magazine always has the
page number first and then the
text.


  Sometimes an image is
  next to a page number
  and text to anchor the
  audience to read the
  story.
In each magazine, the contents page usually has
subheadings. These are of the different categories in the
magazine. Eg; News & Stuff, Features and TV & Reviews.
Through out a magazine, each individual magazine
      will have its own colour scheme running through.




Purple, white, pink and          Yellow, red, white and black
black
Each magazine contents page has a plain white
background, this is to make the writing and pictures stand out
more.




The writing in a contents page of a magazine is a very
small font, no bigger than size 11.
In each contents page there is a structured
layout, either 3 or 4 columns in each
magazine.
