Contents Page Final Stages



This is the final version of my contents page. I copied the way in which the features section is formatted from one of the contents pages I researched.This means putting the features at the bottom of the page in a continuous list, in a block paragraph. It took me a little while to find the right font. I tried to using the ones from my front cover but they didn't look right because they weren't clear enough so I had to use a different font to make the block paragragh style work. I decided to use this layout because  it is a bit different and I thought to carry on the theme of my front cover it would have to look a bit edgy and different. The way in which the features section is formatted helps achieve this look.
I came up with the idea of having the Fatality down the side of the image and using the first two letters as an acrostic because I wanted the Fatality contents to be separate from the rest of the features at the bottom of the page. I also think it makes the page look more professional and neat as well as edgy and a bit different.
Overall I am really pleased with my contents page I think is looks simple and effective with a couple of unusual twists which makes it stand out from other contents pages.




This is the first stage of my contents page. Like most contents pages the image is the main focus of the page. I was planning to have text at the bottom of the page so I had to leave a space for that. I used the same flux graphics as my front cover, magazines do this to make their magazine logo become iconic. I decided to use a plain white background because the version where I have used a pink and black background didn't work and didn't look proffessional so I decided to copy most other well known magazine contents pages such as Q and Kerrang and use a simple colour scheme; black, white and red this colour scheme also compliments the picture because the graphiti is black and white and the heart is red. I used the eyedropper tool to copy the red of the heart in the graphiti and then use it for the title, this means that the it ties in with the image.
