Examples Of Music Magazine Contents Pages:

I included these two different music magazine contents pages both from Rocksound magazine to expand upon differences mentioned briefly in the section of planning photographs.

In the example on the left, there is a multitude of images, all connoting a band or solo artist. The images are mostly confined to one area of the page, giving the text of the contents page room to breathe.

At a glance, the contents page splits into four easily read sections of "The Noise" "Exposure" "Features" and "Reviews" allowing for quick scanning of the contents page to get to the general area that the reader is interested in.

In contrast there is a very different model of the contents page, this one using a dominating image that only bears a quote from one of the artists the photograph is of.

Once again the text is given it's own clear section of the contents page. The contents are split into key sections once again for easy reading.

The  important aspect of the contents page being to allow for clarity of reading the information both in detail and at a glance.
