Contents Page Research.

This is the contents page for 'Q' Magazine. I like this, i think that is very plain and straight to the point, however there are a few things that i would like to include on my contents page which aren't on this one. The contents page is labeled clearly so the reader knows exactly what they are reading and that they know that this in the page which will give them the page numbers they need and to know what else is included in the magazine. There is a subtitle 'on the cover' this is a write up about front cover, explaining what it's about - the main feature (Johnny Borrell). And also it says 'Judge for yourself by reading the interview on page page 62' this is so that the reader can find quickly and easily where the main feature is, which is most likely why they bought the magazine. I think that there is enough images, but i don't think that there is enough information about what is inside, there isn't that many page numbers mentioned. Also i don't think that it stands out that much. I know that i will have most things if not all what is inside my magazinem and i will have it organized and attractive.

This is the contents page for 'NME' Magazine. I'm not too sure about this one, i like it and i don't. I like how the colour scheme is, all the colours seem relevant. In the centre of the page it seems as if there is a 'sneek peak' to the article which is 'Oasis kicked off their world tour' i like how this is done but wouldn't really want to include that into mine. The image is obviously relevant because it is members of Oasis. However, i don't like how there isn't any other images of anyone else who is featured in the magazine. On the right hand side there is more of the details of what is inside, i like how there is sections - News, Reviews, Features etc. Also on the left hand side there is a 'Band Index' I'm not too sure if i like that, because index's are usually at the back of things, but i suppose that it does fit well on the contents page. Also i like the 'Subscribe Today' box i think that is a good feature to have a contents page, most of the magazines i read have a choice of subscribing.

This is the contents page for 'Billboard' Magazine. I really like this one, i like the position of the images and the page numbers. I really like the way the images on the right hand side are placed, they are the same size and also the page number is situated on every image on the bottom left corner. I like the colour scheme i think that is is calm and bright, i think maybe there is a little too much white. I also wondered why there was a image bigger than all the rest so i googled the front cover of this issue 'July 18th 2009' And i found this...

This shows the reason why the image was there which was too show the main cover story 'Paramore'. I like how that was done but i don't think i will use another picture of my main cover story on my contents page. I think I'm going take into consideration the contents page's i looked at but i think this final one will give me my main ideas.
