Contents Page Research

The first school I looked at was Hampton School.
From my point of view,  I think that this is a very prestigious school. I can tell this by their website and the way that their magazine is spread out. The color gold that they have used represents wealth, wisdom and elegance.

However, their magazine lacks color  pictures and nothing entices the readers to read it. The use of small fonts but large paragraph is a sore to the readers eyes as it won't be too appealing. Which may lead to them not being interested in the rest of the magazine. One the other hand, it's very well laid out and isn't confusing to read. I personally like the 'Dear Readers' as I feel very welcomed into the magazine and it's a very friendly touch. 

I personally feel like it's too dull as it's full of writing and nothing really interests me. However, the purpose of the contents page is to show where the certain articles are and it will help the readers to navigate their way through the magazine.

The second contents page I found was from Google.

The use of the lavender background against the black font makes the writing stand out. Even though it's very plane and simple, it gets the job done. It has done its purpose of guiding readers and telling them each of the articles. 

However, from my understanding just by looking at it, the use of crayons and the image on the left makes it look very primary school like. Until I read the Article names do I recognize that this in fact is for Sixth Form students. I don't think the images relate to the upper school as it's too childlike.
