Contents mock ups

Then I decided to see if it would look better/bolder if I used a brighter colour than red as the background colour.

I then decided to add more colour to try and make the contents page stand out more to readers.

I then added matching headlines to the word contents. As well as adding more colour with the red stripe across the top of the page.

After looking at a few different magazines contents pages I decided to try out creating a backing colour for the word contents so that it would stand out better like other magazines.

I tried mixing fonts and colours around to see what looked the best, I also added my main image onto my contents page. I also rotated some of the text to see how it would look.

This is generally how I would lay out  my contents page as it is the conventional way a contents page is usually set out.
