Is my final contents page easier to read and understand, and does it include the right conventions?

Contents page ideas.

Contents page ideas.


Here are my 3 contents page ideas that I designed, again influenced by my research, in which I looked at the layout and key features used in each.


The first design that I created was based on the same font used that I decided to choose for the cover. I also had a similar style layout with the random boxes to continue the theme, as I thought this was the best presentation to use to give continuity and follow the ideology. I decided to include numbers at the side to clearly divide each piece of contents, to make it easier for the audience to follow.




















For this design, I again numbered the pages at the side, as it gives easy direction for the audience. I also had the pages laid out underneath each other neatly, as a pose to the first design with randomly placed boxes. The text that I used for the title 'contents', was random, in the style of a horror font with the text running like ink. I also included a box at the bottom for spare text included. This is a much neater design compared to the first, and gives the contents page itself a different approach.
















The final design which I created was with a fancier font to experiment with a different look to contrast with the cover. I also thought that this looked classy and traditional since the theme of the magazine for the 'issue' is songs of 2009 for the new year. I did not include numbers this time for a different approach, and this time placed the title of 'contents' in the top centre of the page.















The final design that I decided to use, was the second design, but with the text of the first, as it gave continuity from the cover, whilst the layout was not too hectic for the reader to lose direction. The numbers at the side gave direction and made it clear to follow with ease, and the page as a whole looked appropriate for what you would expect for this style of cover.
