How my magazines Contents page should be laid out.

The contents page should be Presented very much like the front page. for example a Music magazine or a games magazine would be very much related to the type of magazine. For example, lots of pictures of games and very broad funky text to make it stand out. With college magazines and more formal magazines contents pages, the text is set out to be much easier to read so people know what they will be reading.

How should my college magazines contents page be set out like?

• It should be easy to understand
• main storys should be outlined,underlined,cloloured,bolded etc..
• there should be no distracting pictures cramming the page up making it harder to understand and read.
• Page numers should be clearly shown and also in order
• Contact details such as email and fax&telephone numbers should be clearly displayed.

How my magazines front page should be laid out.

different magazines are laid out differently. this is to give a different effect depending on what type of magazine it is. for example, a music magazine is crammed with artist and album releases and everything to do with music and for instance, a college magazine is alot more laid out and formal.
