Conventions of a contents page in a magazine.

Title- Something that's specific to its category and can relate to it. Usually one word.
Caption- a statement under the picture to explain or describe what it is or about.
Headline- to present or promote a headliner, usually in bold, big type. Visual Syntax- the way in which the text and images are organised, makes the audience read the page in a certain way and direction.
Text- there to change someone's opinion/encourage someone to do something in particular, make sure the audience knows and understands something, to create awareness and give information.
Page numbers- so that the audience can then refer back to that page if necessary and its easy to locate.
House Style- colours and fonts used consistently throughout. Columns- used to help show neatness and present text better.
Categories (sections)- designed to make the magazine more organised and give a more formal approach.
-Pull Quotes a quote from the magazine to get the readers attention and so that they want to read more.
-Information/Blurb It is a promotional description, originally for praise the page and advertises inside.
-Columns to show an ordered layout.
-Images to get the audiences attention, it also makes it less boring and entertains the audience.
-Banners creates a contrast between the title/headline/text so that its clearer to the audience and gets their attention.

I have learnt about media communication. Media communication is the media that is communicated to its audience such as text and photographs.
