Here are some various examples of contents pages from non-music magazines. I am going to analyse the two images above to help me with my own creation. The two images above both share some common similarities, these are; strict detail to magazine features and their page numbers, several images relating to the magazines features, a theme presented through colours and/or shapes and similar use of font. The differences between the the two images above are: space within the page, contrast between the quality of fonts, and layout structure. Item A (Left) portrays a contents page over wildlife and has a very tightly packed structure with a high mass of text and image that pack everything together. This makes the page look complicated and therefore reduces reading interest for buyers, whereas Item B (Right) portrays a simple, plain yet interesting choice of layout which require less work for readers to be able to understand. This is useful for me when creating my contents page as I know not to use too much however not to use too little. I will consider this when creating my contents page. Item A has a very dim colour scheme which is plain 'black and white' with various red fonts. This is very plain however there is a real sense of boredom that may be created just by its presentation. Item B has a very plain theme however, with its use of images and matching colour scheme presents a more visually interesting layout to readers and therefore increases audience's attention towards buying the magazine, maybe after flicking through it in a shop. Although item A has a lot of detail, maybe relating the the size of the magazine, it still conveys a tight hard-to-understand structure which viewers may automatically disobey after seeing the complicated layout, where item A is simple, quick and easy, also visually entertaining to view.
