Chosen Ideas for Contents Page

I have decided for my contents page I am going to use the title name 'In this weeks' instead of a normal name 'contents'. This makes the magazine different from normal issues of music magazines. The title is simple and to the point, showing what its going to include. I also think that it makes the magazine seem more exciting and something to look forward to within the magazine, using 'Contents' makes it seem dull and boring nothing really to look forward to. Also the name 'In this weeks' stands out from everything else that would be on the page. I think this would attract my target audience as the style it is, would be for younger audiences- teenagers 'Contents' is more for the adult audience.

The colour scheme will be simple, the colours i will use will be Purple, black and white. The same as my front cover. However there will only be a small amount of purple used for improtant information like page numbers would be within a purple box. The reason i have chosen to do this is because i don't want it clashing with the front cover, and be the same as it because it would then turn out boring and too repetative. Although i do want to keep to the same colour scheme throught as these colours purple, black and white represent my magazine TIU, just like other music magazines for example 'NME's colour is represented red. This makes the magazine simple and not too busy with all sorts of colours making it hard for the reader to read.

I will have multi images on my contents page, but there will be one main one of a band, and one other smaller image which will be of a gig. They will be mostly long shots. The reason i want to use multi images is because it shows the people my magazine issue is obviously going to include. The reason for this is so it grabs the readers attention and showing a number of people will make the reader be interested in atleast one article in this issue. Also using two different images, that are completely different style makes the page vary more.
On a contents page, people do not tend to read alot, its normally the page they flick to, to see whats included and if the magazine is worth buying and so on. So using images will represent what and who is included within the magazine, so they play a big part and putting a small bit of passage next to the image will almost tell a story. Also using a few images more than having lots of words will target my audience, as most teenagers are not alway interested in reading lots of information, so making it simple the images have just told them.
