Drafting and Planning: Contents Page Content

My magazine will be published monthly, so i have looked into how many pages are typically used in magazines already in publication.  It is believed that magazines pages should be in multiples of 8, 16, 32. So because of this I am going to do to do around 32 pages, as I believe this will offer my magazine enough content but will not over load it. On the 32 pages I want to include varied content, which includes my double page spread on my main artist. I want this feature to be in the middle of the magazine so previous pages can build interest for the magazine. There will be some content that is featured in every issue, which I think will keep readers coming back.

The contents page will be on page number 3... It will have around 4 images on the page highlighting key artists and articles within the magazine. It will also offer a more visual aid for my readers, this will work well with the younger readers of my target audience. The pictures will also offer colour and vibrancy.
