Research For Contents

I like this contents page of this magazine mainly for the title, feel that it is laid out in a very clever way which attracts the reader. The whole graphics and colours are very simple but seem to be effective, however I do feel that there is far too little information and text.

I were to emulate any components from this magazine I would used its style of the title and the colour. I would need to try and loyout my contents slightly more professionally in order for it to be easy to read. The lack of text and information makes it harder for the reader to understand, i think the use of a simple desgin by having the page number oppsite the page title which extremely effective.

This magazines layout I feel is very good becaus it is simple and easy to understand.The graphics and background share the same colour shceme, they both use black,whites and greys, i think this works espeically well because of the two coloured boxes in the top and bottom left corners. The sentence in quotation marks in the top right corner is positioned very well, without it i think their would be too many bare patches on the page. Even though there is little text featured on this contents page i think it makes up for it by have such good posiotion of the text going down the side. It shares the featured bands in the magazine going down the side and lists what page numbers they start at. I hope to emulate this magazine the most becuase it seems to have a professional look about it, I want to share the same colour scheme from my graphics to my text, I may include more information about the magazine with more page numbers, but i will have the same layout as this by having the text going down the side and one or two boxes of coloured text in the corners.                  

This image I have found would be a contents page I wouldn't like to emulate because i feel that is far too dull and boring and that it wouldnt attract the attention of the audience. The thing I mainly dislike is the graphics because it dosn't seem to have any connection to the type of magazine and the resolution gives the contents page a less professtional look. However if I were to emulate anything from this contents page it would be the colour scheme of the text. I think it works well to have the page number and title in a different colour to the information below.
