Contents Page Mock-Up

Here I have created my final content pages mock-up for my final magazine. This means that when I have all the pictures ready I will then begin to put together my final contents page. At the top left of the page I have placed my 'masthead' this will be labelled the title of the page which is 'CONTENTS'. I will make sure that the font I use will be big and bold meaning it will stand out on the page and be clear for people to see. Underneath the masthead I am going to place an image with my magazine name on. I have decided to do this as from my research I have done beforehand I have seen that other magazines have done this and I want my magazine to look as professional as possible. (I am thinking of editing the masthead over a picture as I think this will look cool but also link in with the masthead as I'm thinking the picture can be a group of fans looking really excited) ; I am also going to place all of the typography in white as I believe this will stand out the most as I will make the background colours quite dark meaning the white font will stand out and look professional.

Underneath the magazine title I am then going to place a heading which will be labelled 'Features' I have decided to do this as a contents page is all about telling the reader what is inside the magazine. Then in the column I am going to have a list of artists that will be featured in the magazine. I am going to have this column all black and then use a white typography. I have decided to use these colours as white on a black background will be really clear and effective. I also want it to stand out on the page meaning people will straight away be interested in what is going on inside of the magazine. After I have written all of the artists names I am then going to write all of the page numbers in a red font. I am going to do this as it will be different to the white typography meaning it is representing something completely different.  

I am then going to have a lot of different images that are on the paqe. The 3 thumb nail pictures at the top of the magazine are all going to be different artists pictures that I am using. I have decided to do this as it shows that there is more than one artist inside of the magazine but also that I am capable of taking professional photos of different people as well. I am going to have these artists pictures smaller than my main artist picture as I do not want these pictures to take over the magazine. But also I want the pictures to all be different shapes and sizes so therefore it will make the magazine look interesting and exciting instead of the same and boring. 

I am then going to have my central image on my contents page as the same person that I am going to use for my central image on the front of the magazine. I have done this so they will then co-inside with each other and the readers can get the feeling that the magazine is about one main artist. I am then going to place two more thumb nail images underneath the central image of the page. These pictures are also going to be of the same artist of the central image. I am also going to place these images smaller underneath the central image.
