Contents Page Final Copy

Originally this contents page was filled with spelling mistakes and paragraphs that were not correctly emplaced. Nike created this final draft to make sure they come across as a respectable professional company. The final draft of the contents page is well laid out. This means that it is easy to read.
The paragraphs are also now placed in the correct places. They are all lined up in columns. This means that the contents page is well organized as it brakes up different aspects of the magazine into columns. This makes the contents page appear more professional. The original idea to have columns on the contents page was inspired by NME. They also used them to set the page out to make it appear easy to read and professional.
The contents page like in the drafts will have a black background with the “UPCOMING” typical masthead as the heading. This is easy to read as the style of font and use of colors are clear and in a large font which cannot go unnoticed. This is also the case for the contents information, which is in a black font on a white background. This again is easy to read.
The images used in the contents page “Upcoming” also believed would appeal to their target. This is because they feature young people who “UPCOMING” believe would be the target audience of the magazine. The pictures feature these people at gigs and party, as “UPCOMING” believe their market also lead this lifestyle. This means that they will appeal to the contents page.
The contents page also featured the main stories that they believed would appeal to the target audience. It featured stories relating to festivals, which are particularly popular with young people with an interest in relatively unknown music. They felt that by including a story about Reading on the contents page it would motivate consumers to buy the magazine and read the full article.
The contents page final copy was different to the draft as the lines on the draft were not straight and looked unprofessional. “UPCOMING” edited them in the final draft to make the contents page appear more professional. The draft did not require many changes; the main ones were to do with spelling mistakes that were made on the page. By correcting them “Upcoming” is showing their professionalism. The other changes that were made from the first draft to the final draft was shortening subjects and their description so it fit into the column better and appeared neater. This would make the contents page more presentable and less compacted. This means that overall it would make the contents page look more professional and not amateur like.
