This document summarizes the process of creating a contents page for a music magazine. The creator decided to make the contents page span two pages to include more features articles, pages, and numbers. Conventions from typical music magazines, such as a group index, were followed. The color scheme and logo were continued from the cover to maintain consistency. Images and boxes were adjusted to better fit the color scheme and layout. Publication date and descriptions of feature articles were added to inform readers.

1) When producing my contents page, I decided
to create it over two pages. This way I would
have more space to include feature articles,pages
and their numbers and the editor’s letter. These
follow conventionswhichwouldbe seenintypical
music magazines. I have used the logo to the top
right to make it a continuous scheme throughout
the paper and give it that professional look.
‘Contents page’ is written in the same text as my
mast head ‘Snickles’ to once more give the
magazine a professional look. The small text
towards the left of the first page, uses the same
text as the features articles on the front cover to
keepa continuoustheme.Once more I have used
the greenand burgundyhouse colourscheme formyrectangle tool tocoverthe text. This keeps the
‘Greenissue’inexercise.The image tothe centre of the left page is taken from the internet which I
wanted to give a brief introduction to the group and create hype. When researching other music
magazines in the same genre, I have used similar conventions such as ‘Group index’ as seen in the
burgundy box. This would give the audience insight towards a wide variation of groups they can
expect.
