Contents page research

To the right I have tried to show how my contents page links to some of the existing alternative rock contents pages existing in real press today. Each different colour bubble shows a convention of the magazine that I had decided to pull across into my own work to make it fit the genre better. Below I have deconstructed a magazine contents page and analyzed the main features of it.
  

To follow conventions and make my work look more like an alternative rock magazine I chose to include all of the main features from the deconstruction above. In doing this and keeping a similar layout it keeps my magazine style close to that of a real life text. I have done this as I wish to make my magazine look as real as possible.
