1. My contents page will be set out with the word “Contents” at the top of the
page, since this is a code and convention which all magazine contents pages have.
I will also set out my contents page into columns of three, this will make the
magazine look more appealing to the buyer as it will make the magazine more
organised. A replacer of the masthead will be included on the contents page to
remind the reader of the magazine that they are buying. I will also include a
replacer of the tagline and issue date. For my contents page, the pictures that I
will need will be pictures of indie rock artists, that are not professional ones, but
are ones that are up and coming into indie rock. I will not have the image of my
front cover on the contents page because although this is a common code and
convention of a contents page for a magazine, I will focus more on the text. The
images on my contents pages will be music related. This will be reinforced
through the mise en scene within the props that they will be holding or a
near, such as guitars and drums. Like on my front cover, to achieve an indie/rock
looking magazine, my images will have the right characteristics such as the
clothing that the musicians will be wearing, which will be dark and their facial
expression will demonstrate anger to the reader. These two conventions will
demonstrate the aggression that indie rock brings when playing and listening to
indie rock music.
