As you can see, I have tried to keep my contents as similar as possible to my front cover so that the house style of the magazine is maintained. Rather than boxing out everything, I have used thin black lines to separate each section of the contents page. I have however boxed out the page title, the titles on the left hand side of the page, and the fake advertisement. This is so that those headings stand out, since they are not written in as big text as the articles on the rest of the page. I have used different font colours on the page numbers to make the page look more unique and different.
My concern that I have for this draft are that there might not be enough articles on the page and that two articles might be too big on the page. My other concerns is that the fake advertisement may need some improvements so that it looks more realistic.
Update:
I have now added a picture for the main article to my first draft of my contents page.
I like the way the photo looks on the page however, i might need to retake the photo because of what is in the background. This is because there are plant pots and a window from my back garden and also because the other picture on my page has a brick wall as the background. The latter of the two problems could be solved by using a different picture for the second article. I will try to resolve these issues and make any other changes in my next draft.
Contents Page: I think using an Artist Index is a nice idea and will appeal to your audience.
ReplyDelete- Could you have a look at boxing out the Subscribe now area in a different colour? This will make it stand out a little more and add another dimension to your page without confusing the house style.
- I think a different image needs to be chosen other than the one you have in the bottom right corner- it would be better to see the whole guitar.
- The image in the top right needs to, as you mention, needs to be taken again with a different background or cropped accordingly.
- Generally I think your text is a little too big on the right hand size and does not fit the conventions we expect.
