Contents Drafts

This is my first draft for a contents page, the contents page usually consists of a lot of columns which I have done but I placed everything at angles to make it look more interesting, instead of it looking so boring and simple. The images and the captions I put to each other to give a taste whats in the magazine. I put in an editorial because this is vital in any magazine and it's welcoming the readers and telling them a little bit about the issue. The sections for the contents itself is farely basic, but it has to be so you can clearly read whats in the issue and I didn't want the whole page to look like it was all over the place.

This is my second contents draft, I find this one to be the busiest out of the two, this is very different from my first draft as all the sections are different sizes and placed differently. I put the editorial near the top by the page title as it's more noticeable there and I think it is more likely to be read if I put the editorial nearer to the top. I noticed that Kerrang! changed the sizes of the images on their contents page, so I thought I should see what the outcome looked like. I don't think it works that well as to me it makes the whole page seem overcrowded and a bit overwhelming.

I have chosen to use my second draft as my contents page, I did this because i think more thought went in to it and its different to other contents pages. I think that i will be able to fit more information in to it, which is good as a contents page needs to provide a lot of information.
