Evaluation Question 2 Contents Page

The heading of my magazine is "SIO this week", I have chosen this to be my heading instead of contents is it makes it more informal which is appropriate to the age range and also is something different than the usual heading contents. The heading is also the same colour as the front cover, this keeps on the continuing house style. I have also put in the top right of the Mise-en-scene an image of the front cover. The reason I have done this is to correlate with the front cover.

Down the left hand side of the page I have included a list of all the features that will be included in the magazine. This is a main convention that should be included on a contents page so that the readers know what page features are on their favourite artists. I have also put artists names in red, the reason i have done this is to highlight the band itself, it also links into the colours i have used for the house style.

 The pictures that i have included in the magazine are one bigger image and two smaller photos. I have positioned these in a blocked view to make the magazine look professional. The bigger image is about the main feature in the magazine and has the cover stars in it, the reason I have made this image bigger is because it's what the magazine is focused on in this issue. The two smaller images are based on features in the magazine, one of them from the pug on my front cover, the reason I have done this is because it links the front cover and highlights the feature, also because the feature is revolved around audience participation, it shows that the magazine really does care about its viewers and their opinion. The other picture is a live image and the feature that it's mentioned in is a live review, the reason I have made this feature more important is that because the genre of my magazine revolves around bands performing and playing shows, means that having reviews of bands is important thing for my magazine to have. For all three of my pictures, I have included the page numbers and a caption. The reason i have done this is to give a preview of what will be in the magazine and where about in the magazine it will be.

At the bottom of my page I have included an editor’s letter. The reason i have included an editor’s letter is to introduce the reader to the magazine, also it allows the reader to become introduced to the magazine in a friendly way to what the main features are, therefore giving the magazine a more personal introduction. The name of the editor is written in a more hand-writing style font, the reason I have done this is it makes it more personal. Also at the bottom of the page I have included the page number. This is an important convention because it's what the audience expect to see to direct them.
