Rather then analysing a contents page i decided to think about the codes and convention they have and also what i thought were both good and bad points about the layout. This would then allow me to use some of these features within my own contents page.
As you can see above i have collected together three contents pages; Q magazine, Empire and Kerrang.
Empire
Positives -
- Informative as there is a brief description of the story under each page lead, informing the reader more about the story
- Consistent use of colour scheme
- Interesting due to the variety and number of stories provided
Negatives -
- Not chronologically ordered
- Very busy one side and then the other seems very simple, plain
Q
Positives -
- Good range of image sizes
- Mix of text and images on both pages
- A lot of attention on more dominant image
- Clearly labelled as a contents page
Negatives -
- Only put into two categories
- Although there are images with page leads, there is no further description of page
Kerrang
Positives -
- Easy to understand and navigate around the page
- Good use of space
- Consistent colour and text theme
- Eye catching dominant image
Negatives -
- The large image is very dominant causing a lot of the other stories to be very compact
