PRELIM TASK: Flat Plan - Contents Page

A key thing I have to remember when creating my contents page is that the cover & contents page must look like they come from the same magazine and link. 

I can do this by using the same fonts and feature colors as my front cover; therefore, I have decided to have the title 'contents' and '09'16' (month'year of the issue) in the same color and font as the magazine title. I then decided to have the page numbers in small boxes for a neat finish and beside them, a subheading of what those few pages will be about in my feature color, red. Underneath each subheading will be a sentence or two explaining, in black, in a little more detail about the magazine article.

Photograph-wise, I will have the same model as my front cover model in my contents and include one photo of her, perhaps playing around with hand movements like the front cover photo, linking the two pages together. By using one and only model in the front cover and contents page, I am emphasizing the importance of this person, making the reader want to know more about what is special about her. 

However, I have some negative space about her and thought of placing a quote by her from her exclusive cover story but I dislike this idea and may experiment with a photo of the model to cover this negative space.

This layout was inspired by this magazine's contents page, because of its simplistic design yet interesting layout, with no collaging and using one photo.
