Aquinas Contents Page and Evaluation.

For my preliminary task i was asked to produce a front cover and contents page for a new college magazine. On my contents page I believe i was successful for the following reasons; I kept a consistent house style with both my front cover and my contents page (black, white & red) which suit the college genre of my magazine and link to the Aquinas Logo, i used appropriate images to reflect what the articles within the magazine will feature and i further chose fonts that compliment each other and clearly suit my magazines house style. To give the reader an insight into what each article is about i put a caption below each article's heading and placing page numbers on the images on my contents page makes it clear to my target audience what they're reading, avoiding confusion and further entices them to the article. However there are some minor errors with my contents page which i will avoid doing in my Music magazine for example; the positioning of the different writing isn't consistently in line with each other and the font size of the numbering also isn't consistent, so to ensure it my future contents page looks professional i will take more time to arrange the writing on the page and size it correctly. From researching different magazines i have now realised that the numbering on magazines contents pages aren't usually in chronological order and instead are often numbered randomly or in ascending even numbers. Not to mention next time i will make sure the images used blend in with the writing on my contents page to ensure it looks original.
