School Magazine: Contents Page & Analysis

• The style is kept similar to the cover, with a green gradient background and black text.
• The layout is kept simple and formal as this is a school magazine which people would likely read for information, and a simple layout makes it easier to find the content wanted.
• 'Contents' is given its own section in the top-left so that the reader can instantly see what this page is about.
• The text and page references are aligned to a grid, this gives the magazine a structured look.
• The school logo at the bottom helps make the magazine seem more formal, similar to a stamp of endorsment.
• The white line helps seperate the actual magazine content from what is there to improve the look of the magazine
