Second Contents Page Mock Up - Music Magazine

For this mock up, I have made the main image the most important part of the page which will stand out the most. The actual magazine name will be spread across the page just covering some of the main image. This immediately stands out to the reader and creates a branding for them, it also looks professional and a contempory design technique. Above this will be the title 'contents' and the date of magazine issue in smaller font, so that this is less obvious but still in view for the reader. On the main image, there will be some contrasting text from the main image so that this will stand out - this text will contain the cover story articles and the page number to turn to. To the right of the main image, there will be a smaller box containing the text and page numbers, as well as this, there will be the same underneath the main image. I think it is effective to have a magazine subscription notice in a flasher in a contents page because I have seen lots of magazines have this in their contents page, this promotes the magazine and also creates professionality because it is so successful that it has many issues every year coming out that people who are interested in the magazine can buy. This information will be in a flasher because this is effective in catching the readers eye, because usually it is bright and contrasts from the branding colours so that readers immediately draw attention to it, as it is usually containing information such as competitions or magazine subscriptions where they can save money.
