mock up of Contents page

1.

These are ideas of how I could layout my contents page. By putting The 'Story Title, Introduction and page number' together it means that the reader will be able to read a little bit about the story to get them interested and then they will see the page number of what the full story is on. The image related to the story is to give the reader that slight bit of entertainment and to give them a bit of recognition towards the story.

I am most likely going to use a layout like number 3 for my contents page as the image dominates the page meaning that I could include one main image of the artist involved in the main story which gives the impression that the magazine is focused on that specific artist. Whereas 1&2 are balanced out between image and text which means that there will be too much text on the page. The context page should just include an image, story title with the page number of the story and a brief introduction to each of the main stories.
