Contents Page Layouts

1. I like this contents page layout as it's very simple yet effective. It would be very easy to read/ understand which would benefit the user as they can find their wanted page easily. I have decided to make the main image to take up the majority of the page, starting from the top- down. The main coverline, which will correlate the main image, will be placed within the rest of the magazine listings along the bottom of the page, however, it's text will be slightly larger than the other coverlines. This will make it stand out. I've placed the title of the page in the top left hand corner, overlaping the main image. The font will be in capitals and it will be a block text, which will make it stand out and be eye catching. Finally, I've placed the masthead of the magazine in the bottom right hand corner. It will be exactly the same style font and same colour as on the cover. This will stand out and attract the readers attention.
2. This is my second contents layout design. I have decided to place the main text/listings down the right hand side of the page. This design contains more images than the 1st design, however they'll all be relevant to their coverlines. In order to make the specific coverlines match the images along the bottom, the text will be slightly larger than the other listings or they will be highlighted. This will make it easy to read and navigate around the magazine. The main coverline will be in a considerably larger font within the listings and the main image will correspond with this. The main image will take up the majority of the page on the left hand side. Finally, the magazine masthead and page title will be placed under the main image as it's just off the centre of the page, making it stand out and be eye catching. 'Contents' will be in a slightly smaller font, with 'Riot!' in the main colour, font and size.
3. This is my third contents page layout. The magazine masthead will be in the top left hand corner along with the issue number and date. The main image will take up the top half of the page and it will correspond with the main coverline, which will be the 1st listing at the bottom. All listings will be along the bottom with page number in a bold colour, the coverline will be next to the page number in a slightly larger font and different colour, with a small amount of text placed under the coverline in the smallest text. This will allow the reader to read what the story will be about, before reading it in depth. Down the left hand side, I will place images of new albums which could represent a review later on in the issue. This will attract the fans of the albums. Finally, the masthead for the contents page is placed just off centre as it will be part of the first thing the reader will see on the page. It will be the biggest text on the page and it will match the font of the magazine masthead.
