Final Draft of Contents Page...

I am very pleased with my final contents page. Considering I was slightly apprehensive about whether or not the layout would work or not. I was also worried that the crumpled paper background would make the text hard to read for the consumer and therefore be inappropraite for the background, however I think it has worked well and makes the page look more rebellious and scruffy which is the look that I intended for my magazine. I think the colours work well, however I think I will change the pink to a more orangey red so that it matches the front cover and therefore keeps a house style throughout the magazine. I think that the pink, black and white compliment each other and stand out from one another while having the ability to match each other also. I originally thought that I would use only a few different fonts so that it was clear for the reader. However I wanted each page to have it's own style so I tried different fonts for different pages and made the more exciting pages stand out by giving the page title an interesting font and making it bigger or a different colour scheme and shadow effect. I also used a few pugs such as rectangles and swirls and arrows to make the contents page look more interesting as they are different shapes and attract the attention of the consumer. I made my featured aritist be the most advertised. I did this by placing a large picture of them at the top of the magazine and then making the artists name big and matching the font used for the Cover and Double Page Spread to advertise them. The other pictures I used were of a stage and another artist. I left the stage in colour rather than greyscale liek the other two as I wanted to attract attention and the actual picture contains a lot of grey, black and white anyway so it does not look completely out of place compared to the others. I made the other picture of a different artist greyscale as when it was in colour it did not match the colour scheme and made it look messy and unformal. So I made it greyscale which matches the rest fo the page and fits in with the grungy look that I have been aiming for.
