College Magazine Contents



Above is an image of my contents page, which as you can see follows the same colour and font sceme as the cover ( the colour scheme being blue, and the font defused )
My favourite feature of the contents page is the mini picture of the cover on the right side, which i am really please with how it came out, and i also think that it adds a professional feel to the contents.

The layout is in a typical three column format, with the first column being the pictures, the second, and third following on next to that. There are two sections of the contents that overlap columns, the first of these is the word "contents" which is in a blue defused font that again connotes rebellion because it looks edgy and different. Another feature of the word is that after the "Con" there is a hyphen which separates the con from the tents, even though this wasn't planned, i think that it fits in well with the theme of the contents and so i am glad that it happened. The second feature that is in more than one column is the competition at the bottom of the page, which is a compettion to win an ipod touch. I chose the competition to be for an ipod because the ipod has become a symbol of youth culture in modern times with everyone desiring to get their hands on this new piece of technology, and so i thought that this would appeal to the target audience which are, students.

The images and stories were chosen because they each have relevance to the student market; graffiti, mopeds, music and art are the represented in the four images. The contents part of the page, has sub-headings which are in blue and in a slightly larger font than the rest of the texts, so that the sub-headings stand out, and so that they also fit in with the colour scheme which is blue.
