My contents page

This was my contents page. I wanted to do a simple layout as well as giving the audience alot of information about the features in my magazine. I got my basic plan from an idea I saw in Rock Sound magazine. They used images as well as captions from articles throughout the page. I did not want to use captions as it would make my page to busy and confusing for the consumer. I included pictures all around my contents page. These pictures were features in my magazine and will help the reader find their way around the magazine alot easier. I used two columns in my contents page as it made it look neat as well as professional. I had features and regulars. Features would be articles that featured only in this magazine and will have something different every week when my magazine is published. The regulars will always be the same and will be featured in every magazine that is published. It was quite a challenge to do this as it was hard to think of things that the readers would want to see every time.

Wanting to include primary images, I went on the internet and found pictures of people that I would like to feature in my magazine and got my friends to pose for them. This was quite a challenge as it was quite hard to get a similar pose and the backgrounds and clothes they were wearing sometimes did not go with the genre of my magazine. I chose mutual colours that worked in with the colours throughout my magazine.
