2. Obscene publications act-
Obscene publications is an act in which to prevent obscene content , for example explicit language and nudeity which could affect readers in a negative way, also things like drug use are seen as explicit content.

3. Libel law
Fake information is not allowed to be published, or harmful content. This is important as if fake information is posted, this could perceive the artist in a different way and change their reputation
4. Copyright

If it is a magazine company for example, they would need permission from the artist to use his content as it is his property, and if they do not get permission, this could be classed as stealing. Also you are not allowed to publish any content that could compromise a law case for example, as a magazine company are allowed to report it, but not give any information in which could change the verdict of the court case.
5. Laws of contempt

3 things i like about my contents page
One thing I like about my contents page is the simplicity which really makes it look professional as the colours used are fairly basic as they are black / and a white/grey colour.

I also like the fonts used as they are very fancy and simple looking which complements the simplicity of the colours.

The importance of setting up the dialogue box in these settings is to make sure that my magazine matches real life dimensions of a real life magazine.
It also helps me get familiar with the custom settings of the program Adobe indesign.
