Contents Page Conventions


Contents Pages need to include the following:

  • Simple wording - brief explanations about the pages and what is on them
  • Clear - everything that's put onto the contents page needs to be spaced out and clearly written 
  • Bold - wording needs to stand out from the other things such as images that are around it 
  • Images - needs a main image and then maybe other images around it to show a point
  • Information - about certain pages and all this information needs to be well laid out and written 
  • Numbers of other pages - when explaining something you need to put on pages numbers to make sure people understand what page you're going too to find out that story 
  • Columns- everything laid out in some sort of order 
  • None Chronological - put on information about some pages but not all because that can become boring and repetitive just include main stories 
  • Font - keep to the font that you have used for the title page because this will become the house style 
  • Guidelines/Grids - keeps to an order and a layout that's easy to follow 
  • Needs the title of Contents 
  • Date of when the magazine was released
  • Number of the issue that magazine is
  • Sometimes it includes an editors letter where the editor talks about what they enjoyed about the magazine and what they recommend 
  • Subscribe place for if you want to start getting and buying the magazine on a weekly or monthly time
