Magazine Contents Page - Step 1

The next step in making my music magazine was to create a contents page, by looking at other music magazine contents pages i realised that the recurring theme was to have the logo (title of magazine) clearly presented somewhere on the top of the page, preferably the left hand corner; therefore I did the same. I copied over the same title design and added a black strip along the top of the page to make it look similar to the cover. The 'outer glow' of the title also looks better on a black background compared to white, the pink looks like neon lights which is usually associated with DJing, which is what my magazine is mainly about. Alongside the title I have included 'this week' (at this stage it was going to be a weekly magazine, but then I changed my mind) which is in white and stands out from the black background, but doesn't stand out as much as the title, showing the title's dominance. To show that this is the contents page I wrote the word 'contents' but this time in black to stand out on the white background and of the box above. I then added to pictures that I knew I wanted to include in my contents page. From my survey I found out that my target audience are interested in new and upcoming DJ's so I made my contents page have a DJ theme, therefore targeting my audience.
