Drafting and planning

In response to my post on 16/10/15 I have began to draft and construct my own contents page.
Similarly to Dluxe magazine, I have kept a white background, and incorporated the colours black, blue and orange. They work really well together. I have also, in the same way as Dluxe, dedicated the upper left hand side of my contents page to the images; and I have included page numbers on top of these images. I ensured I consistently used the same colour scheme found in the front page and in the contents page. Also, like Dluxe, I have separated my articles in my magazine into separate sections - fashion and beauty, news and sport, night life and entertainment and arts and culture. However, through having a second look at Dluxe, I have decided that I prefer the way that they hold their information about their contents page - having subheadings and key information below, but not including individual page numbers for each section. Even though this may not be as easily accessible,  my target audience aren't children, the students won't need everything dumbed down. Therefore I think it is appropriate for me to adopt this in my own contents page. I have carried my masthead through to my contents page which contrasts with the contents of Dluxe, but I think this looks effective as the reader will know that the magazine successfully pieces together. I am happy with my first draft of my contents page:
