Analyzing Magazine contents pages

When I first done a contents page for my preliminary task I didn't have a clue in what i should include due to the fact that I had done no research or analyzed any contents pages that I could get ideas from. This lead to my first contents page not being good. I used that as a positive so that for my main task I could improve on it and by doing that I used the magazine 'Clash' as a template for my contents by analyzing it. This meant looking at the context used and how its displayed, also the layout and types of pictures used. Gave me a rough idea of what needed to be included in my contents page. It gave me ideas and also allowed me what i needed to do such as keep the colour scheme the same as the front cover to make it look more professional.
