For this part of my project I had to compare two different types on contents page suitable for my target audience. I had to find similarities between the two magazines, 'Mizz' and 'Mixmag'
Both of the magazines have features that are similar. These are, the magazines have a note from the editor. This could introduce and welcome new readers to the magazine. Both the magazines also have pictures to do with whats in the magazine, these pictures also have page numbers on them. Both magazines also have separate titles depending on what topic the articles fit under. This could be beneficial for the reader to try and find something they want to read.
Both magazines have writing on one side of the magazine and pictures on the other. This layout is easiest to read and find the articles that the reader would want to read. Both of the magazines use language that is slang. This could attract the type of audience that the magazine is based for. The magazine also addresses the reader by saying 'You' and 'Your' this means that magazine is making sure that the reader feels like the magazine is talking to them.
The way that the contents pages appeal to their audience is; The language used ( slang, 'you' ), The types of articles in the magazine, The colours used in the magazine and the Pictures that are used in the contents page. All of these things could attract the target audience. They also use lots of screamers also.
Both of the magazines follow the house style. The colours from the main cover follow through on the contents page also. This makes the magazine look more professional and makes the contents page more easy on the eye. It also show the target audience that the magazine is going to be based on the front cover. The theme of the magazine is thorough in its design.
For my magazine contents I am going to try and follow these ideas also. I will make my writing on one side of the magazine and try and include pictures on the other side. I will follow the colour scheme from the front page to the contents to make it follow the 'house-style' Doing this will make my magazine seem and look more professional.
