Now that I have looked at the conventions for front covers, I need to try and research conventions for magazine contents pages.


The main conventions from this contents page are...

• A masthead containing the title 'Contents'
• The date-line so that the reader knows which edition they are reading
• The contents are divided into columns, with page references
• Photographs are inserted into these columns, with a reference to which article they are related to
• Divisions within the contents, which shows the different sections of the magazine.

Although this is only one magazine, therefore I need to continue to research contents pages to make sure that I 100% follow the conventions of contents pages.

This magazine contents page is slightly different to the previous cover above, yet there are some similarities between the two. This magazine contents page includes...

• A masthead which contains the title, yet this magazine contains a photograph within the masthead
• Divisions within the magazine showing different related articles
• A main photograph which is related to a certain article
• Page numbers by every listed article

These two contents pages have given me a rough idea of the conventions that I need to follow already, yet I still think I need to continue my research and look at a couple more contents pages.

Here is another contents page. This page also follows similar conventions as the two above, yet it still has it's slight differences. Yet it still follows the basic conventions of

• Masthead
• Divisions with Sub-Headings
• Columns
• Photographs related to certain articles

This is similar to yet another magazine below, yet these magazines are not school magazines, therefore they may have a slightly different target audience which may affect the layout and style of the contents page, therefore I need to look at some school magazine contents pages.
