contents page i designed in InDesign

Today I designed the contents page for my magazine, Lewes Mag. I stuck to the design of my flat plan, just simple rows., because I think its easier to read, and a contents page should be informative.I chose red font to be consistent with my front cover which also has red writing. I wanted to keep everything consistent because I feel it will give a stronger sense of branding. At the bottom of the contents page I've included a banner promoting the magazine, and there is also a similar one on the front cover. I decided to have subheadings with the titles of the articles, then underneath them I allowed some space for a brief description of that article, in smaller font. I had the main heading in black writing because I wanted to make it bolder, and seperate it from the subheadings. Overall I think this is an effective contents page, because it informs you where to read for what you want to read, it is also clear to read, I also think it is nicer to look at because of a simple design, than if it was messy with too many colours and too much text.
