1. The codes and conventions that I have done for
my contents page considers the layout and
imaging, colours, and texts. I have used these 3
examples of magazine contents pages on the
left that already exists in order to create my
contents page too.
The first example on the left isn’t from an R&B
magazine but I have chosen this because I liked
the way the images are laid out onto the page
as my intended audience would be more
attracted to reading the images more than the
text.
The second example was helpful in terms of
colour. I have inversed these colours to make
the page look brighter and so that it contrasts
with the model’s clothing.
The third example was helpful in terms of text. I
haven’t used any fancy writing for the three
headlines, ‘DEPARTMENTS’, ‘SEEN’, and ‘STYLE’.
So instead, I had referred the text font back
from my front cover.

2. Instead of adding two more images above the
main image, I have used three. I have placed the
page numbers on the images into the different
corners because it makes the page more
interesting.
At the top of the page, I didn’t use images, so I
filled up half of the banner with the magazine
logo, and the other half with the title and the
‘content page’ title.
I have used these ‘<>’ signs rather than this’>’
sign for the three headlines because I saw that it
looked more stylish and helped to develop a
house style.
I have used some texts from this ‘VIBe’ magazine
but I had added my own too.
In this example of the ‘VIBe’ magazine, I saw that
they had included captions under each of their
stories and topics to anchor their meaning and
that is what I did too. I made the captions as
short as possible so that the page is readable and
tempting by the fact that there is not enough
information but just the key words that my
target audience would be attracted to.

3. As you can see, none of the
magazines on the left have a
border around them. When I
showed my contents page
without the borders to my
intended audience, they had
recommended to me to add the
border lines to give a nice bolder
effect.
My intended audience also
recommended that I should add
a web link to get people talking
about this magazine. So I made a
follow-up Facebook link at the
bottom left corner.
