Contents Page Final Layout

The left image is my final layout choice for my contents page. The right image is how my contents page looked before I changed the layout. I felt the layout on the right looked to squashed to the bottom and hard to read whereas the layout on the left is clear to read and and very simple. I have added a header border to include social media websites where readers can find out more stories. As teenagers are my target audience and they mainly use social networking sites, I thought it would be useful to include this on my contents page as it would be easy to access stories from the magazine as they are constantly on the internet or on their phones. I have included the magazine masthead in the header border so that readers know that it's from the same magazine. Also the title 'contents' on the right image took up to much space on the page which left little space for me to change any of the texts, I knew I had to decrease the size of the title to make more space for my features. I put the date on the bottom of the magazine so that readers can establish all these stories are new.
