For the purpose of creating a Preliminary Mock -Up contents page, I had to first do some research into the appearance of magazine contents pages, in order to get some ideas and to understand the layout and structure that I must pursue throughout my own work.As NME is predominantly for a younger generation I aim to influence NME magazine throughout my own work as I believe it appeals to a younger generation of whom share the same type of identity - the same as a School, whereby pupils must conform to the uniform as though they are all equal.
As you can see from the following image of NME magazine - it appears conspicuous with its large images of contemporary bands which enables a youthful tone. NME commonly puts an A-Z list of bands on the left hand side of the contents, in order to appeal to a generation of different music tastes. As, generally the main article of a front cover is the most important - I created a mini article on the contents page in order to give the readers a sneak peak of what may lie inside. By making my headings large and bulky the main stories will be much more prominent for the reader allowing the text more clear to the audience of what the magazine will consist of.
For the purpose of the Heading 1, 2 and 3; I aim to put the main front cover articles in a large bold Sans Serif font, in order for the audience to know exactly where to look for the main stories. Purposely used to make searching for the story easier. In the contents boxes; there will be smaller stories of all different school genres like: sport, music, general gossip, subjects etc. This will enable those students whom have different tastes to read their chosen stories.
The largest image will be off the front cover story. Putting more empathises on the importance of it. The caption below will allow a sneak peak of what is inside the double page spread.
Other images and advertisements are used in order to grab the readers attention whom have not been engaged by the stories and other images.
