What makes an effective contents page?

  • Clearly catagorised (regulars, features, etc)
  • Range of images to draw in the reader (around 5-6)
  • Clear layout
  • Clearly labelled page numbers

Updated Double Spread



I intend on changing the heading, and also its font and colour. I also need to add to the right hand column where I will add photos of albums, as this is intended to be an album recommendation section.

Updated Front Cover

Double Page Articles I Like


The picture in this particular double spread article is the main focus as it takes up the majority of the page. I also noticed that they have only used one image, and you'd think that it would have subsidary imges to intrigue the reader more. This article has a very simplistic design but i think the image makes up for this. The image is very striking and instantly grabs your attention.



I like the use of two different styles of font for the headline, I think this is very efffective. I also like the colour scheme with the black font on the white background. This is simple yet effective. The other think that I particuarly liked about this is the main image.
