Preliminary Magazine Contents Page - Research

The next step with my preliminary magazine for the college is the contents page, but before I create it I want to research into how a contests page should look, and what elements I should include into my own. These were the top three that I found:

The first one I like for the colour scheme, I think it's very easy to navigate with the bold colours of the titles and numbers, and it still gives you a description of what the article will be about. Furthermore, I like how the pictures properly correlate with the articles issued due to how it has the page numbers on where to find the specific picture. This also makes the magazine easier to navigate.

The second one I like as the articles go down vertically, yet it has enough room for a small description of each article. Not only this, but it has a strict colour scheme which I like, and gives it a rough edge to it - something that could be a theme to the magazine. It is almost like it is a rock magazine or something similar. Ultimately, it has bold titles for navigation, and alike the first contents page, it includes images that can be used for finding an article.

Lastly, the third contents page I like, because it differentiates the colours between the numbers and the titles of the articles. It also has a minimalistic attribute to the page, so it won't confuse anyone and will be easy to navigate.

Although I think that these are the best in my opinion, we had a class poll to see who liked which contents page. These were the results:
