flat plan

I designed my contents page in this way as i think it is probably the best, simplest way of laying out your contents, its really easy for anyone to read, as it is well spaced out and clearly states what section is where. I find that sometimes a magazines contents page can be quite confusing with to much going on, with images everywhere, so i really wanted to keep mine plain and straight forward. I made sure i had a big title so people know instantly it is the contents page. I felt however the page did need more than just the page numbers so I included some photos of the main issues the magazine is dealing with. To really highlight what the headlines are. I'm really pleased with how my contents turned out and I think it works well with the general idea of the magazine.
For the front cover i really wanted it to stand out, have a simple message and really make people want to pick it up and have a look. I'm pleased with what i came up with, i do like the title of my magazine, and the general layout i think is quite good. Its clear and simple to read the headlines and the main stories, which was a bit aspect i wanted to include in my cover. I tried to include almost everything a normal magazine would include, like a big bold title, the issue number and other main sells. I think i have just about achieved this look I was going for. I chose the title 'College collective' as I think its quite original and will hopefully stand out and grab peoples attention. I think the layout works well ands will hopefully look good after I have finally completed it properly.
