Preliminary Task Part 2 - Contents Page

For the second part of my Preliminary Task i produced a mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate my grasp of DTP.

I think what worked especially well with my contents page was that i split the contents for the magazine into 'For the Girls', 'For the Boys' and 'For Both'. By doing this, this gives the opportunity for both sexes to choose what they are interested in without having to flick through the whole magazine to find the section they want. Also by having a section 'For Both' means they can enjoy things for both sexes and are not just limited to the things they can view, obviously both boys and girls can also read the sections on their opposite sex. I have added pictures of the male and female symbols to make it stand out and look young and trendy. I have chosen the most interesting topics to put on my contents page so readers will find it appealing. There are also places where pictures would be put, this is to make the contents look more fun and vibrant without it just being all text. I think i would change the layout of the text when i make my main contents page as i think it looks a bit crowded with text. Also my final contents page will be very colourful.
