Finished Contents Page for my Music Magazine

For my contents page I decided to use a blue background which I also did on my other two pages because this shows consistency throughout the magazine and shows it has been well published. For the title I decided to use a red font on a black background which is very modern and eye catching for the readers. It gives a instant impact for my audience. I also decided to use the title 'Unsigned' again because it fills some space and also because I have seen it in a magazine which i researched and I liked the way it has been presented.

I thought i would use a photo on the left hand side which I edited to how I wanted it look, I used this photo of a girl playing the guitar because again it implies that the magazine is specifically musical and aims to show the talent of unsigned artists. To fill more space I added some text at the bottom right near the photo, I used white text which stands out very well and is easy to read.

On the right hand side I decided to use only main features within the magazine and limit the amount of pages I would show. Firstly I have put a little insight into the 'cover story' for my magazine. I put a little sub-headline 'cover story' in a red font which I haven't done for the other stories this because the front cover story is the main story within the magazine and the most important so I wanted it to stand out and looks different to the rest of the brief story introductions. After each insight to the story I have divided it with a little red line because when I was researching Rolling Stone magazine they have done the same and I really liked the way it looked. For the introductions to the stories I have used white text which stands out and i have put the page numbers on where the stories can be found, I have put these in a bold text making them stand out more.

I believe the font colours I have used and the background colour are very bright colours and effective for the readers. I decided to use a normal font and keep it nearly all the same throughout the contents page because I believe this page is what the readers are less likely to read the most so I kept it basic and well set out. I think the use of the divided text makes it all looks professionally set out and easy to find the text for the readers.
