Locating the articles

The simplest way to number a contents page is to simple do it 1 2 3, bullet points are pointless because the reader will not be able to tell where the articles are, and not everyone can translate roman numerals. Always make sure that a contents page is in chronological order, this way the readers will be able to find out what they are looking for quickly and efficiently without causing confusion, which will result in frustration and they may no longer wish to read the magazine. Also make it clear where they can find articles that were advertised on the front cover, that may have been the reason that they purchased the magazine and you don’t want to disappoint your readers.
