Completed Music Magazine Contents Page

This is my completed music magazine contents page, personally I'm rather glad with how it turned out as I think it follows the theme that I was trying to create.

Contents Masthead: Clearly I have made the title of the contents page the same as the masthead on the cover, this ensures that it flows well and looks like it's been put together well. In my previous magazine I changed the font when I made the contents page, now looking back at it I think I should have kept the font the same because it looked as though it wasn't part of the same magazine. In addition to that magazines tend to keep the same font, unless something is being emphasised, as it becomes recogniseable and therefore a trademark. With that in mind I decided to keep it the exact same; which I think was a good decision as it appears to be more like a professional magazine as oppose to one that looks very amateur-like.

Cover Image: Prior to producing this contents page I had initially decided that I will not use this photo in my magazine at all. However, after some realisation during the process of making this on Photoshop I noticed that out of the images this would fit the best, and so I used it. Once again I have used a picture with a warmer hue so that the design looks good.

Contents List: With the cover lines from the cover being presented on the contents page I have also added three more articles which adheres to the genre. Due to the main article being on "Frankie" I thought it was important to highlight the main article by writing it in yellow, which also kept in line with the colour palette.

Final Notes: So far I have kept the colour palette to just white, grey, black and yellow; because of that I'm not going to add any more colors. In my opinion this selection of colours work well with one another and still maintains some vibrancy.

Opinion

Overall, I'm happy with how this looks and how it complements the magazine cover. When comparing this to the previous sixth form magazine that I made it's evident that some progress has been made which I'm pleased with. From my point of view this is still relevant to the target audience, being a younger audience between the ages of 15 and 25, as I think it remains youthful but also has a combined sense of maturity which is attractive to adolescents.
