I created this collage of different magazines and their take on a contents page which informs the read where different topics are in the magazine. From this task, I have learned that it is important to use images from a shoot in the contents page as if captures the consumer’s mind and makes them intrigued and want to read on about this person they have been shown in the front cover now the content page, this also helps denote to the correct individual audiences. Furthermore when the reader picks up this a magazine they will often turn to this page after looking at the main cover image to read more about what is in the magazine and if it interests them, making this a highly important page for designing and advertisement to the correct audience.
Above I have drawn four draft contents pages that I could use as possible designs for my magazine. these were designed to capture the read more and attract them to different pages.
For any contents page, you need to advertise the readers to story to keep them invested in the magazine, using catchy/ shocking/ interesting headlines. below are five interesting headlines examples that I could use and structure future headlines.
- Big news on how the pandemic is slow album releases. Page 1
- DEATH on the Eastside! Page 3
- Exclusive insight from Joji Page 5
- The hectic life of Lil Tracy in his own words. Page 7
- The real why Logic retired… Page 9
Using these sort of headlines I will be able to draw in the audience who listens to such artist as mentioned in the examples by using words and phrases such as ‘Big news’ and ‘Exclusive’. By insisting them into addiction information as to someones well being that they are invested into. to keep the consumer reading on, and buying the magazine again due to relevant news that has a means to them.
