After looking further into contents pages, I decided to change my one page contents page to a double page, following this convention from popular fashion magazines such as Vogue. The reason for this is because in my opinion a double page contents page looks more professional and it allows you to show more of a variety of page titles, which will interest the reader further into purchasing and reading my magazine. Since changing the style and layout of my contents page I have been able to include more images and text, as well as follow more conventions that are seen in real media products contents pages, such as including a subscription advertisement, the clothing that is seen in my images amongst others. I am really pleased with the outcome of my third draft because in my opinion it will appeal more to my target audience and it also creates more of a professional work, I would still like to experiemnt further once I have received feedback from my teacher to create the best possible outcome of a magazine contents page.
Since receiving feedback from my teacher I have made some more slight changes to my contents page. I have now decided to make the text of the page titles smaller, which has now allowed me to give a brief description of the page titles, this will grab the reader in and intrigue them into reading the different segments within my fashion magazine. It is a convention followed by most fashion magazines such as Vogue, Grazia & Company. I have also added a slug in the top right hand corner, which indicates what the page is. Overall, I am satisfied with the outcome of my fourth draft for my magazine contents page, the font choices and colour scheme fit in with my other pages and also fit in with the vintage theme that I am showing throughout my work. After researching into real media products I have been able to put together an interesting and professional looking contents page, following conventions that are seen in every day products.
