Creating the contents page

This post will show how I have gone through different stages to create my final contents page. I felt that my contents page is clear and matches in with the theme of my magazine. I have shown everything that is in the magazine and made sure they where clearly readable.

Stage 1:

This was the first stage to making my contents page. Firstly I used different shapes to create a layout of where everything would go, I used grey for the colours to make it still look clean and presentable. After that I added the magazine title and the page title. I edited the magazine name because I didn't like the colours I used beforehand, I will be changing the main title on the front page to this later on.

Stage 2:

I have now added the date and magazine website to the page because in my magazine research they have done this also because the reader can find the website if they want to go on it. Like on my front cover I have added our universe as the background but changed the opacity to low so that it doesn't over power the page with colour. This makes the text on the page easier to read for the audience.

Stage 3:

I have now started to add text  and images to the contents page. Having Slender as my main image shows that he is the main artist I am covering in the magazine. Then having other images i.e Aviators shows that she is a sub artist the magazine is covering. Also having the text under/over the images gives a brief background on what the article is about.

Stage 4:

I have finished my contents page by adding the rest of the text to the page and writing a brief paragraph about the Feed Me concert review at the bottom of the page. I feel that the contents page matches well with the front cover because of the use of colours and the placements of text and images. This should appeal to my target audience as it is simple to read and understand also because it is clean and not messy i.e there are no pictures thrown around the page and the text is very easily readable.
