Planning my Contents Page

Following my researching into magazine contents pages I am now ready to start planning my contents page for my regional magazine. The contents page is essential to any magazine as it shows the readers where in the magazine articles they wish to read are located, therefore my contents page must be clear, easy to read and follow, and should be in chronological order.

The contents pages I have analysed have shown the columns of page numbers broken up into sections, for example the cover stories in one part and the features in another, my contents page will follow the same idea and layout. I will also have an image on the page with the writing next to it.
