I split the contents in to different sections to inform the reader the different types of articles that are featured inside the magazine. This also makes it easier for them to find certain pages that they would like to read. I used examples from each section that I used in my real RnB magazine.I aimed to have a short title and to then write a short description under each one describing what it was about, I also included a page number directly alongside of the writing. 

Sell lines for the front cover

• Hope Murphy exclusive interview
• Top 50 chart songs 
• Artists featuring at Wireless festival

I chose these three sell lines, Hope Murphy exclusive interview being the main sell line, therefore I enlarged it to make sure it was noticeable that my main article inside was on this sell line. I also centered it and put it in a bold white font to make sure it stood out against the others. The other two sell lines I placed on opposite sides of the page, these sell lines were in a smaller less noticable font but still brought attention to them. The purpose of these sell lines is to entice the reader to want to buy your specific magazine, giving them clues of what is included them inside persuading them to purchase it.
