Updating my Contents Page with Codes and Conventions

I made my own contents page, but I decided that it didn't really look like a real magazine, so I looked at an example of Q magazine's contents page and adapted my draft to make it appear more professional.

The Original Contents Draft


Q's Contents Page



My Contents Page- a later draft


What I Did

I wanted my final contents page to be a mixture of my original design and one similar to Q's contents page. I adapted my original design mostly from the second page of Q's contents- I wanted my design to still be one page rather than two. 

This is how my later design is different from my original one:
  • It has a clearer layout so is easier to read and navigate information for individual wants.
  • Page numbers easily accessible and columns clearly laid out- easy access to information required.
  • Description of features are worded more simply so is easier to read- more likely to entice and inform the reader (uses and grats).
  • Uses a brighter red- colour stands out and continues house colour scheme.
  • Used a "V" to represent the magazine title "VINYL"- allows room for more space so the layout is not too cluttered and more aesthetically pleasing.
  • Text in different fonts and capital letters- stands out and captivates attention- entices the reader (uses and grats).
