Contents Page Examples

Today I will be looking at different contents pages from magazines. I will analyze their styles and conventions for inspiration for my contents page.



I like that the contents page above uses a wide range of colors to number their articles, but still makes it easy to read. In part, this is because of the white background. I also like that the page is not overcrowded. This contents page does not include a main image. I like the font they used for the numbers because it makes the number outlines look better. 



The contents page above uses up half of the page for their contents and the other half for their main image.   I prefer the contents page having a main image, but I think the formatting above leaves the text crammed. It has a color scheme of red, black, and white. For my page, I would like it to have more colors or a color that stands out more. I like the font that they used for the subheadings. 



I like how the contents page above used the main image as the background. I think this gives it a more natural look. I also noticed the minimalistic writing that allows the image to be the main focus. Though I do not like the image's background color, I like the idea of it being one solid color with white font to stand out.

Conventions

To learn more about the designing process of a magazine, I have done research on magazine conventions. They are features that compose a magazine (both the cover and the articles). Given that the front cover is what must appeal to people in order to get their attention, those are the conventions I will discuss in this post. Masthead: magazine's title which will usually be the larger text; the masthead is usually the first thing readers notice Tagline:  gives an idea of what the magazine focuses on Cover line: mention what is inside the magazine (may include attention grabbing names/topics that will attract audiences) Central image: a large image on the cover to appeal to people Cover model: person or people (usually in the central image) that will be included in the magazine Color scheme: the combination of different colors used in the magazine (including the font type/color) Barcode: placed in a spot where it does not take attention away from the other conventions (usually in one o...

Feature Story Draft

  “They would always look at each other with raised eyebrows before asking me, “YOU rap?”,” recalls Naijah Lynes. She grew up hearing scoffs and mocking jokes from people who doubted her as a young woman with aspirations of becoming a rapper. She “was used to always being the outlier, the only girl in a group of boys freestyling.” In the beginning of her aspirations, she would feel upset that her long hours of rapping in her room would be discredited by other people, simply because of her gender. “There need to be more female rappers for young girls like myself to look up to and feel encouraged,” Naijah claimed. “I hope to be that rapper for someone one day.”  She did not grow up seeing a lot of female rappers besides Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, and Remy Ma. Lynes’ inspiration did not come from seeing rappers, as she started listening to them once she fell in love with rapping. “One day my friends were freestyling in the cafeteria during lunch. When it was my turn, it came to me nat...
