The document discusses the layout, design elements, and content that will be included in the creator's magazine contents page. A two-column layout in InDesign will be used, with information and page numbers on one side and images and captions on the other. Images will relate to the hip-hop genre and appeal to the target audience of females. Stories will also link to the front page and genre, such as an agony aunt issue or artist interview. A simple color scheme of no more than three colors will be used to make the main image and font stand out.

2. Layout
The layout I will be using for my contents page will
comprise of two columns using InDesign, one side
will consist of the information and the page
numbers whilst the other will include the anchored
images and captions, InDesign is the program I will
use to organise my information, this would make it
easy for my audience to find my major cover stories.
It is important that I use these, as those are the
basic conventions of a contents page.

3. Codes and
conventions
According to my research of three
different contents they all had large
images that filled the majority of the
contents page, this could be a
convention of a contents page, also it is
important I do not list my information,
however explain the page, my images
must also be anchored this is another
convention of a contents page . It is
important that I use grids as it would a
line my text.

4. images
The images I will be using will relate to the genre I have picked, which is
hip-hop and it would definitely relate to my target audience which is
females. From my research of hip- hop contents pages and hip-hop as a
genre in general I have noticed that the images used are expressive,
eye-catching and the way artists/ models are positioned would straight
away confirm to a reader that they are representing that genre. It is
important that my image appeals to my potential target audience or
relates to them in some sort of way as my images would lure my
audience in so it is important that my image attracts my audience. I
could experiment with camera angles; knowing that a close up is more
intimate and personal and a low- angled shot makes objects look bigger
and more personal. I could include a variety of images to make it more
interesting.

5. Features
The stories I will include would link to my front
page and to my genre, I will include stories
that will relate to my audience using my
research. I could include an agony aunt issue;
this would be of interest to my 16- 25 year old
audience as there would be a wide variety of
questions or an interview of an up and coming
artist. If I was to include these stories in my
contents page I would anchor it to images, this
would professionalize the contents page and
would intrigue my audience. The essential
information on my contents page however
would be: Features and a pull quote, this was
inspired by my research

6. Colour scheme
The colour scheme I will use for my contents page
will be simple and will consist of no more than
three colours; this is because I want the main focus
to be on my main image and my font, in my
research of contents pages the main image and the
font stood out from the background. Also colour
schemes where extremely simple, this is what I will
definitely adapt when making my contents.
Red and black is an
example of a colour scheme
I would like to follow.
