The document outlines codes and conventions for magazine contents pages, including that they always have the title "Contents" and list page numbers without specifying "page". Pictures are typically included to link to stories, with page numbers indicated. The main story usually has the largest picture. A web address and consistent color scheme with the cover are also common elements of contents pages.

1. Codes and conventions
of a magazine contents
page
By Steven Crane

2.  Contents pages ALWAYS
have the title Contents, to let
the reader know that this is
where they can find certain
stories and pages.
 The word page is never used
in the contents. It is always
just a number. E.g. 4

3. •There are pictures that link
to the story. So there could be
a celebrity or a person as the
image.
•Often there is then a number
on the picture to tell the
reader what page number that
specific article starts. When
there are multiple pictures on
the contents page, there is
normally one big picture with
a lot of small ones around it.
•The main story should
always have the largest
picture.

4. •There is normally a web
address on the bottom
of the page.
•Sometimes, people
keep the colour scheme
consistent in the
contents page as on the
front cover. It is
common for the
contents page to use the
‘dog leg layout.’
