School Magazine Research: Conventions of the contents page…


In preparation for my media coursework I have been researching some of the codes and conventions associated with the front covers and contents pages of various school magazines.


One of the things I noticed about many contents pages is the typography. Many contents pages contain headings for each page followed by a short tagline summing up the content of the pages. The headings can be various different colors and fonts so that they stand out. This is also usually accompanied by a page number next to the heading.

Another convention of contents pages is the use of page numbers in the corner of the page, a large heading at the top of the page, a background picture or colour and sometimes an illustration.
