Contents Page Development

When I move on to text, icons and headings I begin to break my contents page up into sections/categories. This allows the reader to have a sense of navigation and a choice of what may interest them and may eventually lead them to want to purchase the magazine. The social media category gives the reader some familiarisation of how they can view behind the scenes and even exclusive information using their mobile phones etc.;. Furthermore, the social media icons engage with the reader as it is what they are familiar with. This will automatically attract the reader as they can view Vinyl's contents online and will not have to invest nor carry out something they don't want to do.

I started the contents page by choosing the layout and how the columns would be structured. I wanted all my images to be on the right as it would be the bit of the page which is more visual rather than text. To carry on my house style I included the same range of colours which were used on the front cover. To transition my contents page, I had my feature article photograph model being the main image on the page to accentuate his status and how he is the main artist of the magazine. The added extra bit of information (Vinyl Website) in the top right corner gives the reader choices of how they want to view the magazine and even want to read more about the magazine 'Vinyl'.

To transition my contents page, I added images which gave the page some structure and navigation to where the text would be. Secondly, I wanted to assure that my contents page had enough images to engage with the visual readers. I included a variety of images including featuring artist, other soul artists, musical objects, locations and attractions which may amuse the reader as well as reading the text.

To start off my contents page, I wanted to section off my page to clearly show what the page is and also to give it structure. I made the word 'Contents' bold and large to notify the reader what they are reading and that this is the page which will then give them clear navigation to lead them onto what they would like to read. I included the website in the top right corner to give the readers an interactive experience and the magazine an versatile element.
