Contents Mood board and Common conventions

Common Conventions
All these contents pages feature common features which can be seen through these examples.

  • They all have either one main image which the contents page focuses on or small individual images which give the audience more interest because there are more images. 
  • Common conventions of these contents pages are that they all follow the their house style which involves font, colour scheme, whether the magazine is packed with information or if it's going for the minimalist look.
  • Due to being a contents page, all of these examples all feature page numbers.
  • Across all the examples Ive chosen to review I can see that 'Contents' is always featured as a bold heading at the top of the page, which can be bold due to the bold colour scheme or the size or font.
  • From the examples I have chosen, a common convention is to have a caption/ anchorage text of every image which is featured on the contents page.
  • All contents pages all follow a structural layout which makes the product look ascetically pleasing.
  • On some examples I have seen, a factor which is quite common is an 'editors pick' section which gives the audience an insight into a new band they may not be as well known.
  • There are always numbers at the bottom of the pages which will be guide the audience to the articles they want to look at.
  • They are usually one or two pages.
  • There are always sub headings like featured, news/reviews, on the cover which divide the text so the magazine has structure.
  • In some cases, the page numbers are set in chronological order so its easier for the audience to read
