Through my previous research of magazines, all of them share a similar traits which should be taken into consideration when designing my own, magazines representing all genres all follow similar rules, as well as certain specific aspects exclusive to magazines of my selected genre.
All magazines tend to not have colourful backgrounds (usually monochrome) in their contents pages and are usually accompanied by a picture, commonly representing the artist on the front, or specific merchandise related to them. The backgrounds are either monochrome, or contain an environmental scene similar or identical to that of the front cover.
The text used within these magazines are usually organized in three columns, and present the information in a way which is easily read, or seen by the audience. The article summary is usually twinned with a page number, and is presented to make it aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, with minimal colour contrast and strain.
Using this makeshift criterion when creating my contents page will help me to develop the design and create an effective and authentic looking contents page, which looks appropriate to the genre and accompany the picture used in my front cover.
