Contents page layouts

I have also been looking at existing contents pages and below are 4 examples of contents pages that I found and really liked:

I like these first 2 contents pages because they're very simple. They consist of big and clear photographs that take up the majority of the page and are very eye-catching and contain a small section of writing to accompany them. These are simple colour schemes, mastheads, fonts styles and sizes. 

I picked this contents page because I liked how there was a section of writing in the middle with a nude pink colour that matches various colours in the background.  I also liked the background of this page because it wasn't just one picture, there were multiple pictures put together in a collage. There is  more going on in this layout unlike the first two, but this is still just as eye-catching.

The Glamour contents page was by far my favourite. I based my mock up on the layout of this page. It is very simple, with a medium close up picture in it's own box, with a section of writing on the left hand side and a simple but bold masthead. The colour scheme consists of neutral colours that is again very simple, but still very eye-catching.
