Contents Page Research

 This contents page uses a yellow black and white colour scheme and I was thinking of doing something similar for mine, I think that I will carry on the colour scheme of the front cover by having the text in pink and black and a white background. This one has a lot of images on it but as I wont be able to include as many images as this but I was thinking of having a similar format with an image on the left and the contents down the right side. This page is quite full there is a lot going on there isn’t many blank space, I think I will keep my contents page a bit simpler but at the same time fill the space probably with a large image.







 This one is similar to want I want mine to look like it has a big image and writing around it. Most of the writing on the cover pages are in a listed bullet point format with the page number next to it and I may use a similar format. Most contents pages are usually black white and then small bits in the featured colour which in this case is red. The Sans-serif text is informal and easy to read. This page uses boxes to separate all the individual bits on the page this gives it a professional look.
I don’t think this is a good contents page. It doesn’t have any sort of colour scheme. The blurred background just makes the page look untidy and not very professional. The contents listed looks like I is in a good order but two of the pages are in the separate colour at the bottom which makes it looks untidy. I do like his use of text with the “features” going down the side of the contents. The picture in the bottom half of the page looks over edited.

I like this contents page as it is a bit different and I am thinking of trying to continue the edgy style that I used on contents page. The writing is on the picture, which is the whole of the background which is unusual for a contents page as the picture is usually less than half of the page or contains multiple images.  The use of text is clever at the bottom of the page as it is a block of text but because they have used two different sizes of text it is clear and not confusing I think I might use this style. The use of colour is interesting as it is all in black and white which gives it a unique style. The image on the bottom of the skateboard doesn’t stand out but they have decided to put it in the middle of the page to draw your attention the detail.

This is quite an interesting contents page, it has one large image dominating the page but the image in the bottom left corner draws your attention as it is at an angle where as the rest of the page is at right angles, it is also in landscape and the large image is in portrait which adds an edgy twist. The colours keep to a black white and red colour scheme but they decide to put the large photograph in black and white to add contrast to the red in the page. Mainly this page is about contrast between the different components on the page. I think I am going to try and make  sure there is contrast between each component and maybe use a black and white image to achieve this effect.
