Contents Page

This is one of the most important parts on my magazine as a potential buyer will judge the magazine on its content so it is expected of a contents page to give as much information about the content without giving away the actual content in a short and simple line for each part and be very attractive. I have done exactly that. In my contents page has simple yet detailed introduction to each article my magazine would have. I have given clear page numbers on the contents page. In terms in attraction, I have carried the trend of pink outlined text from the front cover as it shows style and is very striking. The page numbers are in red to be carried on to the Double Page Spread background which will be red. The red stands out and it introduces a new colour scheme. The background was planned to be just plain black. But as there is not much text on the contents page, the background must be interesting. So I gave it a gradient background from black to grey (top to bottom) and to give it some extra ‘kick’ I applied a pixelated and bubbly effect to it using Photoshop to top it off I added some images to some of the articles to show what they are about and to make the contents page more relatable to the articles. This made the contents page some character and made it very professional.  The main change was the actual layout. Before I was going to use the plan (which is in a post below) but I changed it to a list format. I did this after some research where I found  that it is more easier to read. Also there were too much content to fit into the plan and the list format was the best way to present so many titles with the images.
