2. Headlines + Images
Masthead and the front cover of the are more than likely going to be
transferred over from the front cover to a smaller version of that in the
contents page, mainly in one of the top corners of the contents page.
This makes it easier for the audience to navigate amongst the contents
page and always get a reminder of what the front cover consisted of.
Lettering is positioned in the top left of the contents page to reassure
the reader of where they are within the magazine.
The main image is always the largest, often with a number and a small
amount of text next to or attached to it. This is so the audience can find
the page where the main article is. This once again, is to make
navigation of the magazine and the contents page a lot more easier and
efficient for the reader to look at and will make it more likely for them
to buy the magazine issue.
Headings for regulars make navigation, once more, a lot more easier
and simplifies it for the reader and makes the layout as fool proof as
possible.
3. Content within the Contents
Issue number and page number are always small in one of
the bottom corners due to this making finding pages a lot
easier for the reader and also means they need to use less
effort to navigate themselves.
Pages in numerical order is always to make looking around
the magazine a lot easier for the reader and audience.
Size 11 font is the size used due to anything smaller being
very difficult for the reader and audience to read and helps
the reader read the issue with no effort near enough.
White background within the magazine’s content to make
everything stand out a lot more whether that be images,
text, anything. Also 3 maximum different colours are used
for text to make the layout simple and easy to understand.
Images are always in order of relevance, this means most
important features in the article will be bigger than
something smaller.
