I drew up a mock sketch of what I would like my contents page to look like. I made sure it was clear to see this is a contents page by having the word 'CONTENTS' at the top of the page and in capitals in a white font as it will placed of top of  a coloured  background. It will also stay the date. I am thinking of adding a christmas associated image to show that this is a christmas issue. I will include an editors note to make the issue feel for personal and show the relationship between the editor and audience. This is effective as the reader can feel addressed too and included. I have used the same type of layout
