Contents finished ideas

After making a slow progression through designing my contents page I have finally come up with my finished design in which I really think looks professional and fits the magazine genre perfectly. Firstly in the top image I had decided to use a contents layout just like Kerrang magazine and I kept that layout all the way through the progression. In the second image after the feedback I decided to mix things up and see if other colours fit my magazine genre but after getting more feedback off fellow classmates I had decided to change the colour back to red as it fits the magazine genre a lot better and also I decided to create my own subscription part to the magazine in the bottom right of the magazine. Finally I decided to change the main image and the text on the final design so it was a different band that featured on the contents page as most magazines have different bands on different pages. The final design really fits the rock genre I am aiming for and allows the readers to know its a rock magazine.

Contents update

This is my newly designed contents page which I have created to go into my magazine. I have updated the main image on the contents page so it isn't the same as the person on the front of the magazine. I like this photo at it fits well into my magazine and I really like the layout to my contents page.

I have now stretched the text downwards so its longer in length and matches the text on the front cover of my magazine. I have changed the text next to the page number to match the name of my magazine. Using another image on my contents shows that my magazine isn't all about one band in particular and also speaks about other bands which all music magazines do.

Feedback Contents Page

After receiving feedback from my teacher on my contents page I updated my contents age by adding a page number at the bottom left of the page and also I got rid of the purple box in the background as it stood out too much. I moved the main image to the left so I could fit photos of other bands onto my contents page so it didn't look like the magazine was all about one band. I still need to collect some more photos for my contents page.

I took the idea of the bottom right block from Kerrang magazine and created my own subscription part to the contents page. I still need to find myself some new fonts that will make my magazine look more professional.
