In today's lesson we analysed a range of contents pages, this helped us notice what is typical of a contents page. We also discussed codes and conventions. These included the following:
-Editors letters
-Credits for front picture
-Page number before the story line it is connected to, in a different colour
-Usually consists of two main titles; regulars and features
-Subscription and contact information to increase amount of readers
-Occasionally editors letter included
-Page numbers on pictures to anchor them to the written text of the article they are accompanied by.

-Line gap inbetween stories to ensure they do not get mixed up
-Title on front cover also displayed on contents page to reinforce the brand
-Word 'contents' in large font
-Date, issue number and website all included within contents page
-Clear and consistent font used so that contents page is easy to read
-Main image must relate to main article, this article must be about music
-Colour scheme must be consistent to ensure the colours do not clash
-Sub headlines usually in roman font as it is clear to read
-Font size for coverlines usually 11 or 12
