Planning Task 2: Content Creation

Layout

The layout of my contents page will optimise white space to ensure the page isn't too overwhelming to my audience and will include photographs of the feature articles. This will help grab the reader's attention and interest them in the main articles of the magazine. The listing of the content will contain a brief description of what is covered within that page. The content will be organised into different sections such as 'feature articles', 'Fashion', 'celebrities', 'Lifestyle' and culture. The font used within my magazine will consist of a serif font as many of the condé nast publications follow this style, so to fit in with the trend my magazine house style will consist of a serif font. The listing will consist of bold typography for the content to make it stand out. 

How will my contents page be organised?

My contents page will use the combination of images and text to create a page that is visually appealing to my audience and an effective navigation tool for readers. This will be done by optimising white space, using larger typography and emboldened letters for different sections of the magazine and the colours used will fit in with the trend of my magazine house style.

The content will be organised into different sections across a page with images to complement them, the content featured will be 'feature articles', 'Beauty and Fashion', 'Celebrities' and 'Lifestyle' 

Feature articles

This section of the magazine will include a topic or issue of current issue and will use facts and opinions to draw in an audience. The feature articles will be listed under 'Charms' as it fits in with the magazine s title and helps boost brand recognition throughout the magazine. This magazine aims to attract the audience by featuring a serious topic that will grab their attention.
