This is an issue of Rock Sound. On this cover there is one feature that really stood out to me as unique and a genius way to incorporate the barcode in a less generic fashion. In the bottom right corner of the cover is an image denoting a woman (Christina Scabbia - Lacuna Coil) appearing to be holding the barcode. I will attempt to incorporate this idea into my magazine by merely taking a photograph of a person holding a blank sheet of paper and then photo-shopping the barcode and neccerssary infomation onto the page.
The above contents pages are examples from RockSound and Mojo magazine respectively, these are not the main traditional contents that you would expect in a magazine, but more of a brief summarised form with only the main points featured. From these i thought that a contents page in this style would not only be easier for me to accomplish, but provide me with a strong contents page with minimalistic values, that of which i think is appropriate for my target audience.
With that said, there are examples from other contents pages that i would like to incorporate into my own. For example, in the Kerrang contents page above, at the top of the page there is a "note from the editor" section, this i find works well and i think it will be good to include this into my contents. However i find the small image of the cover featured on the contents page greatly effective and professional, this is one feature that i will definately include on my contents page above all else, mostly because it connotes a sense of professionalism, plus i think it is a grand idea which is a bonus really.
