This is my final design for my contents page, i have now included the issue number and date on the magazine as well as the name of the magazine and a photo of the editor. I have adjusted the words at the bottom of the page so that they are now aligned. I like the fact that i have kept this page quite simple because the simpler the page is the better it looks. Although the contents page looks quite simple and looks like there might not be much in the magazine, it leeds the audience to believe that there is another contents page just as in Q magazine. In Q there is one contents page like mine then another one a few pages on, i think this makes the information for the audience easier to digest. I want the buyer of this magazine to be drawn to the list of contents and the large image of Katie. The image of Katie speaks for itself as the buyer will have already seen a quotation from her on the front cover that would have grabbed their attention in the first place and made them want to read on. The contents set against a white background with the page numbers in red makes the words look as though they are coming out of the page. I have used the same font for "contents" and for the list of contents and the editors letter to give the magazine a sense of style and professionalism. I have kept the font of the name of the magazine the same as on the front page to show that the magazine has a recognisable style. This is the key piece to have in any magazine as if the buyer wanted to get this magazine again then they would easily be able to recognise it. Her fingers which are in a rock pose are pointing to the letter from the editor which encourages the reader to look at the letter and states its importance. This is one of the reasons why i decided to have this as my final contents page and not the one of her with red hair looking in to the camera. I felt it was important to keep the page quite simple but still ultimately grab the audiences attention. The writing is also easier to read against the the wall as opposed to the yellowish background.
