Contents page design ideas (School magazine)

Comparison of two contents pages

Here are two different contents page ideas for a school magazine. The one on the left has little design and thought to it. The colour blend does not match well and is not really appropriate for a school magazine. The colour used for the text is too bright, cannot read the text. The idea on the left is not suitable or ideal for a magazine, it misses appropriate design. The design idea on the right is much more appropriate design. The colour scheme suits the topic and aimed audience well. The font style is simplistic but suitable. The layout makes it look more interesting and appealing to students and parents, it makes it look welcoming and gives an idea to readers what the school is like. Very little design and interest has been put into the idea on the left, I do not like this idea but it is still helpful as to what I don't want my own to look like. The idea on the right appeals to me more and I do like the idea of the colour scheme and layout as it gives a more welcoming and inviting sense, which is ideal for readers of a school magazine.
