The making of my contents page.

I wanted ‘TB’ to be in the corner as a representative of the magazines name, which is also why I used the same font used in the Masthead.

I decided to add a competition on the page, as a way of enticing the reader into buying, in hope of winning the prize.

I added the rhetorical question, as a way of making the reader think, and influence them.

I chose this font for the slogan, and header, as it continues the urban look I was trying to portray.

As I had not yet decided on an image, I had chosen and placed the text, to help me visually.

I added a background to the words ‘Contents’ and ‘competition’ to make them stand out more.

I also included text about the artist which featured on the front page, and who the article in on. This is because he is meant to be the magazines selling point of this issue. And it is important that the information about him stands out.

I had now chosen an image for the new up and coming artist. As readers want to feel as if they are the first to know about something knew happening within the industry, I thought it was important that this had its own graphic feature.

I had now included the contents information, trying to pick creative names, and play on words to interest the consumers.

To make it seem as if all the issues link in some way, I included text about last weeks competition winner. Also, by seeing this, it is more likely that other people will want to enter the competition of this week.

I had also re arranged the order, and chosen an image for the main artist.

Going back to the original order, I re-arranged the page again.

I also put the page number in a star, to show it’s importance, and so the reader will automatically assume it will be a good article

I changed the background colour on the word ‘Contents’ as it fits with the theme which is followed on in the DPS. It is also less bright, and therefore does not look as childish as the previous red colour.

The font colour was simplified, so it was easier to read.
