Maverick contents page 6 country

This is the contents page from the Maverick magazine. It is different from the front cover because it has a white background and the front cover has a dark theme and a black background so it does not match the house style. It has the masthead on this page and the publish date, which do feature on the front cover also. The pictures are at the top right corner of the page in a collage, this leaves plenty of room for text/headlines. Overall the magazine has 112 pages and this contents page is on 2 of the magazine, which is conventional; the contents page is usually 1-3 pages into the magazine. There is 24 story headlines on this page and they are spaced out neatly and more simple so it is more clear to the reader. This backs up the theory of Neale "repetition and difference" because the use of columns and pictures is very conventional, however this is different because the publisher has added the masthead to the bottom of the page to make it stand out. 

The page has a buzz phrase at the bottom, this tells the reader that it is a popular magazine; so many have been made. Also the issue number is in bold to make it stand out to the audience. There are 3 images used on this page to show the audience that they are the main stories. The font is different for the word "featuring", it is more of a fancy font to make it look more upper class. There is a lot of white space on this page because the text is spaced out and all the pictures are in one place. 

I will use this contents page to influence mine. I feel that it a very calm and tidy looking contents page and I really like it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

How this has influenced my ideas

• I like the font that has been used
• I like how the masthead is at the bottom
• I like how the images are collaged together
