The document discusses ways to improve the design of a magazine contents page. It suggests making the page layout more unique by placing page titles and numbers in different locations. Using a mix of the author's own photos and internet images could add more variety. While bright colors grab attention, neutral tones may make the page seem more formal. Mixing italic and regular text satisfies readers with different preferences. Adding a question and answer section would increase reader interest.

1. The layout is similar to the front cover of the magazine which is showing a certain type
of flow or theme that may carry on throughout the magazine. But I could have made the
contents page more unique and interesting by giving it an abstract appearance by
putting the page titles and page numbers in a different places on the page. In addition I
could of place the images next to the page titles to show what each page will be about.
I have used bright
colours such as red,
orange, yellow, green
and blue to grab the
attention of the
reader. Each box with
the page titles is in a
different colour to give
the contents page a
more interesting
appearance. The
colours may seem very
informal to some of
the audience so I could
use more neutral
colour tones to create
a more formal
appearance so that the
magazine doesn’t lose
its serious side so the
audience will still know
that the information
given in the magazine
is still true and original.
I have used images from the internet that relates to some of the pages within the
magazine. The images are colourful and eye catching and create a fun and interesting
side to the magazine, making the audience enthusiastic to read on. However I could
improve the contents page by adding a mixture of images that I have photographed
and some that are from the internet and this would have showed some variation in the
contents page.
I have put the font of
the page titles and
numbers in italics to
emphasis the main
focus of the page and
also to make the
writing stand out.
Furthermore I did a
survey asking if
people preferred italic
writing and I used a
mixture of italic and
non-italic to satisfy
the majority of the
audience as 50%
preferred italic and
50% preferred non-
italic.
I have added a question
and answer section on
the contents page as the
majority I asked wanted
a question and answer
section in the magazine.
By adding this section it
will be attention
grabbing and people
would be more
interested in reading the
magazine.
