Contents pages and the nitty gritty bits

The contents page process involves sourcing work from other media producers. This is to ensure that the contents page you  make as a producer is as informative but also stylish as can be. Having looked through some work already done, I can pick and choose as I please therefore my own contents page highly professional and conventional.

A key role of the contents page in a magazine other than to act as an index to it’s ingredients, is that it must incorporate catchy and alluring cover lines and headlines beside the page numbers within my contents page. These components work together to conjure a desire in the mind of the reader giving them an urge to buy and read the magazine.  Maybe  they like it so much they will even sign up to receive the monthly magazine mail out!
