When planning my contents page i decided to place the masthead 'contents' along the top of the page in a large font to ensure it stands out from the rest. This is important as it is the title of the page and therefore needed so the reader knows what page they are on. Down the left hand side of the splash is the editors letter and image of the editor. This will be smaller than the features section but still large enough so the reader will know about the magazine. Placed along the right and bottom of the page and taking up the majority of the splash are the 'features' which will let the reader know what will be featured in the magazine and where to find them. This is vital to the contents page as it is important for the reader to know where the features that are taking up the whole magazine will be.
Placed next to the features section running in the middle of the splash is an image relating to the main feature/double page spread. This is placed next to the 'features' section that mentions the main article, creating a link, however is large enough and predominant enough so the reader will not have to read the 'features' to know where to find it. Placed with the image is the page number it is featured on.
