The conventions I have used on my contents page include: an editor's note, highlighted titles, bold contents title, page numbers, a main image, an extra image to show what else is featured, issue date and bold sub-headings with a small paragraph giving details about the features. I have also made sure to continue the colour scheme from the front cover by putting titles in the same green colour and having the colour of the page numbers match the magazine name. I used red for 'PLUS:' because this will continue the colour scheme from the front cover which shows other small things featured in the magazine but captures the reader's attention. I also made sure to put the text in columns so there wasn't a large block of text- highlighting the titles so separate them. I placed the main image above the list of contents to show that this is the main article in the magazine. The photo is a mid shot which allows the reader to see the costume (a Green Day t-shirt) showing a band that is popular with the genre. To improve I could add other conventions such as an advertisement, placed in the bottom right corner of the page, to influence the reader to subscribe to the magazine. Placing it here would mean it would be the last thing they see as they turn the page and are more likely to read it compared to if it was placed in the opposite corner.
