Conventions of a contents page

I have looked at contents pages of the magazines that i also used for the front cover conventions, and these are the conventions that were used in a contents page:
  • Follows the colour schemeof the front page
  • The page number is in the main images
  • Small detailed text telling us what the page is about
  • Advertisements to lure the consumer in
  • Anchoring the image with text
  • Important stories are in bigger and bolder text
  • Pictures of a page in the magazine have be made smaller so you can see what they look like
  • A small number of fonts and sizes of fonts
  • Subheads are used for different sections of the magazine
  • Text is layered into columns
  • Logo and text have been repeated from the front page
  • No empty white space, all has been covered
