The document analyzes and compares two magazine content pages. The first page has a large main image and minimal text, while the second includes a smaller main image, secondary image, and more information. While the second includes more details, the author prefers the simple, dark style of the first page as it looks more professional. They would design their own content page with a plain theme like the first page, but arrange elements neatly like the second page to avoid wasted space.

5. Comparisons
 The two contents pages, despite doing the same job look surprisingly different.
The structure of a contents page can vary dramatically depending on the look the
editor is going for.
 The first contents page is a simple looking design with a large main image and a
small bit of text to show the contents of the magazine, this style was chosen to
look smart, easy to read and even come across as looking pretty cool.
 The second contents page is a lot more lively with a lot more going on, The main
image is smaller this time however a second image is used in the corner and
additional magazine information has been added into the contents page. This style
does work well for the magazine because it is bright and appealing whilst including
a lot of information for the readers sake.
 Overall I personally prefer the first contents page because I am more interested in
the style of a magazine than the information and I think that the smart, dark look
looks a lot more professional than the second.

6. Ideas for your own magazine
 I would take a lot of the style of the two cover pages for my
magazine, for example I am interested in the plain, dark theme of
the first cover page instead of filling it with information and
different pictures.
 However I like the layout of the second cover page because it fits
together neatly, I would be inclined to create my own contents
page with a similar layout making sure there isn't too much
wasted space .
