This if my first attempt at my contents page. I modelled this page on a real Kerrang! contents page. I used the same stencil font to create most of the text, as I did on my cover. The image on the contents page was not final, and I was unsure whether to use it in the article instead.
I decided to change the image on the contents page, and use the previous photo in my article. I then added 'FEATURES' under the title 'THIS MONTH,' and added a caption and the page number to the main image. I also decided to stick with the black, white and yellow colour scheme, as in my opinion, it works really well and is a good combination of colours. I wrote the caption 'Curiouser and Curiouser' to the main image because it links in with the Alice in Wonderland theme and also makes the reader want to read on.
I then proceeded to section up the list of stories with various categories that I found when researching contents pages. I stuck with the similar colour scheme as the cover, adding in a bit of red. I also inserted a small copy of the front cover of RIFF, as this was something that I saw in a significant number of contents pages.
This is the final version of my contents page. I added a section at the bottom, promoting the free posters inside, which I saw something of a similar nature in an issue of Kerrang!. I used the stencil font for this section two, as I feel that it makes the page look more professional, and is also a technique that many magazines use. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome of my contents page, and I am definitely happy that I used a Kerrang! contents page as a template, as it has certainly helped it make the page look a lot more professional.
