School Magazine Content Pages

Examples Of School Magazine Content Pages
 
This is a bad example of a contents page of a school magaizine. They have used two colours that don't really compliment eachother throughout the page- a black black background and white writing. This makes it a lot harder to read, especially as it is aimed at children. There is a lot of pictures and they are all on the right-hand side of the page, and all the writing is on the left-and side of the page which again makes it harder to read because the writing has been made very small to give room for the images. By looking at this example I know now not to make my contents page too crowded or busy, and not to use contrasting colours. 
 
This is an example of a contents page of a school magazine that I think has a good layout and a good colour scheme. The way the magazine has been set out and designed makes it look effective but not too busy. They use two simple colours throughout- purple and white, which is aesthetically pleasing, easy to read and makes the magazine more consistant. I could use this to help me when I'm designing the contents page for my own school magazine. 
 


In my opinion, this is another bad exmaple of a contents page of a school magazine. This is the opposite of the first example in the fact that it is too empty/plain. Although they have used red which is an eye catching colour, they have not really thought about the layout of the page. There are four images, which are all very similar, and all on the right-hand side of the page. They have listed what is included within the magazine but haven't given specific page numbers which I think a conents page should have.
