Final Contents PageUprising Music Magazine

This is my final version of my contents.

The background is plain because it helps things stand out.

I used a plain background for my double page spread as well.

Fonts

The fonts I used work well for a contents page.

The title is with the font ‘Old Newspaper Types’ which is bolder than other fonts so you know it's good as the heading on the page.

The other 2 fonts I have used all seem to work well. I used ‘tom's handwritten new’, for quotes because it appears like it's hand-written which can connote the artists' own words.

Lastly, Arial Rounded MT Bold is used for the text body in the small bits under the artist pictures. This is a simplistic font as it is only a bit of background information and isn't too important.

Conforming to the layout of a contents page, I created an advert to promote an university open

day. This is like nme’s contents page.

Images

The images I used are the same size except for the one in the middle.

The middle image is my cover story so I want that to have more exposure than the other images.

The images in contrast to the text are colourful as they need to be more eye-catching because they relate to the more important articles in the magazine.

The page numbers they are on are written in Premier League as these are bold numbers and eye catching. In a white box they stand out well so you only really see the image and page number, the 2 most important things.

Images

With the main image I chose only to put a quote rather than any other information as it is a teaser like my front cover so if you want to find out more about the mysterious man you have to turn to page 19 to read the article.

I chose not to put an actual page number on my contents as in my research I discovered that magazines differ from whether they use one or not and I felt mine would suit not having one.

Conforming

My contents page is based very much on NME’s.

From my music magazine research I found that everything fits the border of the page. Therefore I reduced the advert’s original size.

Feedback tells me it looks better not being right up against the page.
