Ideas• From what I have looked at there a few regular conventions that

most magazines employ. Most of which are on the contents page. Some of these I would like to use:

• Obviously the contents page still has to fulfil it’s purpose. I want to make sure there are plenty of stories on the page.

• Issue. Date. I like the professionalism these add.• Image. I want a big eye catching photo, even just for the contents

page. Then fit the information around them. I think seeing a good photo on a contents page says that the magazine wants top quality on EVERY page. I think this is a good selling point.

• I want to try keep a theme consistent that will match my cover. Maybe the use of similar colours.

Ideas• I want my DPS to be slightly different to my contents and cover. I want

the entire DPS to be a photo with text on and integrated with the image.• If that isn’t possible, I want to go with the half text half image style DPS. • I think a DPS with an image of a live musical performance would be

perfect for my magazine. Taking this photo however, is another matter.• I think page numbers shall still be included. Also I want a bold heading

with a smaller sub heading followed by even smaller text. • The only things consistent with the other magazine pages will be the

font.• The smaller text should be block paragraphs to make it easier to read.

And will hopefully travel around the edges and bottom of the image.
