• Overall I prefer the layout of the Time Out contents page best, but I do like the idea of the double page contents. I also like how Kent Life has the name of it in the corner.

• I am going to incorporate parts of each magazine contents page into mine until I am happy with it.

• Such as the double page spread & the text layout.
