Contents Page Progresses

Step 1:  Here I began creating my contents page the first thing I did was to create the black border around my page. I then did the title part of my contents page. I copied my plan design for this but I didn't think that it stood out well enough and was missing something so I placed the "Music Life" and "contents" on a yellow background, I decided I did not like my original yellow contents with a black outline and thought that it should be in black instead which worked really well as I added the yellow background. I think this made it ten times better as all the colours work well together and are eye-catching on this page. I then began just to separate the page up with boxes where I would then add the pictures and the writing. I also began creating the sub heading of "in this issue."

                                       

Step 2:  Here I began filling in the contents of my magazine. I inserted blue lines between each page topic as it makes it easier for the reader to read the magazine and it is set out clearly so the reader can direct themselves to which part of the magazine they chose to want to read. I then added the reviews and used the same layout. At the bottom of the page I added the page number which is the same as the numbers of the pages on the pictures. I also added little details at the bottom of the page, including Facebook and twitter and the magazines website to make the magazine more realistic and this also promotes the brand.









Step 3: Here I added the final touch to the page which is the subscription part. I again used a yellow background to make this part of the page stand out. I have decided I will change the pictures too as the contents page needs more of a variety or artists not just artists on their own. But overall I am pleased with how the layout of my contents page looks I think it looks eye catching and very informative.
















Final Page (step 4): Here I have changed my pictures to give the contents page more of a variety on the page showing the different artists that will be in my magazine, I now have two individual artists, a duet and a boyband.
