I have been looking on Issuu once again and have found Dluxe magazine. It is a business and leisure magazine about Birmingham. As it is within the same region as my magazine I thought it may be helpful and quite insightful to me.
At this point in my research and even drafting and planning I am particularly focusing on the contents page. I am particularly excited about the contents page from Dluxe.
I like the way a black font is used on a white background. I think that this looks highly effective and is a nice contrast. Purity and mystery. I engaged with this contents page because the stories and news within the magazine is in a column form, something I'm keen to use in my own magazine. I like the way the pictures have been positioned, to take up a certain area of space in the magazine, and how the page numbers are on top of the pictures. This makes the contents page easily accessible for the readers. They know where to find the articles they are most interested in. I'm quite impressed with how a section at the bottom of the contents page has been addressed as a sort of "contact us" or "get in touch" opportunity, by offering the website, email and social networking pages. This is something I can take into account with my contents page. It's pretty clear that this magazine is jam packed but it looks highly simplistic. I am going to take this into account when constructing my contents page.
