Contents Overview

The contents preferred for Ke Apo would be include a understated theme to flow with the relaxed theme of the travel + fashion genre. Monochrome would be a good base for the contents page, with the colour themes of the front cover mixed in with either the photos or some headline's font. The layout of this contents below is appealing due to the collage of pictures at the top of the page. However, landscapes could also be used as a background for the contents, underlying the travel genre of the magazine. The contents below sections the different features within the magazine, which i prefer over just going down in numbers. Photo's that don't make it onto the contents can alternatively go onto the website, therefore the contents won't get cluttered. 

 This contents is in the issue of Hello Fashion Magazine - the July/August Edition, covering the issue with summer vibes. I love the layout of this double-spread contents, with the collumns getting seperated by the thin black lines, and still yet looking uniform and structured eben though they are dotted around images. The imges are spectacular themselves, but another aspect of this contents i like is the way they get rid of the background of images to overlap some, highlighting the specific object whilst also connecting the multiple together. To adapt this i would maybe collage a few more images, as the final collumn has no relevance to the magazine i''m creating.

This other double-spread contents page is from the Cosmopolitan Magazine, and what i love about this contents is the bold, puff'd page numbers surround each image. I think this idea is great for readers, as they have a visual image as to what the article involves within the magazine, and this also helps the reader to locate the many articles within this isue. What i don't love however is how basic the layout is on this double spread, with the mages boringly falling under one another, along with the huge 'Contents' at the top of the page getting cut off - even though that was intentional, i personally thinks it looks like it just didn't fit on the page.
