Before it comes to designing my own contents page I need to gather information into them and what they include. To begin this process I researched what technical conventions they include, I found the following:

• Editors intros
• Page numbers
• Hyperbole and superlatives in headlines, word clues
• Images (including images which relate to the listed articles/features)
• Graphic illustrations and designs
•  The magazine’s name and mission statement

When making my contents page I also have to consider AIDA and also Blumer and Katz theory:

AIDA- I need my contents page to: 

A- attract ,I– interest ,D– create desire,A– a call to action

In terms of Blumer and Katz I will need to make sure my audience:

-Are entertained

-Are informed/educated

-Socially interacted with

-Can personally identify with the content

Below I experimented with some contents page designs which I gathered to help me when it comes to creating my own contents page.
