These are some components that I found are including in a lot of magazines on their contents page:

  • Editors hello
  • Page numbers
  • Hyperbole and superlatives in headlines
  • Images and word clues
  • Graphic illustrations and designs
  • Reminder of the magazine’s name and mission statement

Other components I need to consider when making my contents page is:

  • AIDA-
    • A- Attract
    • I- Interest
    • D- Create desire
    • A- Call to action
  • Entertain
  • Inform/Educate
  • Social Interaction
  • Personal identity

It’s also important to tempt, tease and intrigue and use hyperbole, superlative, descriptive and alliteration when making a contents page to make it as interesting and attracting to the audience.
