Stages of Contents

This is the finished contents page, I used white & grey text for this section as the majority of the text on the page is blue, as this was a separate piece of information it should have a different colour scheme but still within the color scheme of the whole magazine.

I then added in text and an image of the CD, all I had to do now was add in a tracklist.

I decided that I would put a free CD with the issue to encourage more people to buy the magazine, to keep within the style of the magazine I used my borders from the top and placed them at the bottom so I could put text in between but it would be separated from the rest of the page.

I feel this image fits well as it is an image of decks with a blue light surrounding it so it fits in perfectly with my color scheme, I feel that the contents page looks much more professional with the text smaller and more of it, however there is still room at the bottom to add more.

So that I could fit in the maximum amount of text I decreased the image sizes and moved the under the main image so that all the text could fit together, I have left room at the top for another image which I will add in next.

I have now added in the page numbers, I feel that the text is too large and there should be more as there are not enough stories on the contents page.

The next step was to add in the text, I kept the color scheme of grey white & blue throughout the contents page, I now needed to add in page numbers to make it clear to the audience what stories are on what page.

I then did the same for the main image.

I decided that a electric blue border around the date and title would give a much better effect so this was the next step that I did.

I then added in the title and the date, these two things must be present on a contents page otherwise will never achieve a professional look, however where they are I feel they look very bland and on their own as they are a darker shade of grey, I need to make them stand out more and look more independent and away from everything else on the contents page.

I decided on a grey background as it is a neutral color so all font on the contents page would stand out, i added in my four main images straight away so i could get an idea of the layout I wanted and where things should go, I like the shoes are they are in random angles and stand out. also the main image is very effective as it relates straight to the genre of music.
