Research/Case Study - Contents Page - Rock Sound Magazine (re-draft)

The Contents page of Rock Sound Magazine

• The are several images on the contents page of the bands and people who are going to be in the magazine.
• In the top left hand corner you know that it is the contents page and the editor of the magazine welcomes people reading the magazine to Rock Sound. It is really small and the only bit that has a white background which shows that it is a formal bit.
• The colour scheme is still the same as the cover page (red, black, white and yellow), this shows that it is consistent. And it shows more that it is a rock magazine with the images that surround the colour scheme. 
• Nothing really stands out on the contents page other than the images because there are many of them.
• As there are different issues to this magazine, loyal customers will know who each artist is and what to expect, there are page numbers on pictures and little headings telling you what it is that you will be looking for there. 
• The page numbers are in numeric order so you don't need to keep on going back and forth throughout the magazine. Although there are numbers on some of the images placed around the contents page the section that is clear the numbers are in order.
• Where the actual contents is for you to know where things are, it is in three columns so it is easy to follow and understand. Without looking hard enough you would not notice the real contents section. 
• The gutters make it much neater even though it doesn't make a difference because the rest of the page is not organised. with all of the images being placed randomly on the page.
