Here I have created a mood board which follows
the theme of content pages from different magazines. It has also helped me
develop my knowledge and understanding of what the basic key features are, that
should always be included on a content page meaning now I know how to make my
content page look as professional as possible but also interest the reader into
reading it as it will explain the key points about what is going on, on each individual
page.
As we can see from my mood board all the content
pages are very different and unique from one another which straight away stands
out how each magazine has its very own theme going on, the content pages also
relate to the main theme of the magazine. For example the top right picture,
Kerrang is a rock magazine and we can clearly tell this as the content page
links in with the theme of rock. All the content pages also have thumb nail
pictures that link in with the style of magazine they have done. I think this
is very effective as it doesn’t make the content page look boring; it makes it
stand out and look exciting. The content pages also follow different colour
schemes for example the rock magazines are mainly dark colours, whereas the Pop
magazines are bright, fun and friendly colours. I like how this has been done
as it really captures the theme of the magazine and doesn’t make it look
strange.
My favourite content page on this mood board has
to be the one with the lady lying down and she has her legs hanging in the air.
I really like this one as it really stands out from all the others; it also
looks the most professional looking one as it is very unique and individual. I
like what the magazine has done with the font ‘CONTENT’ as it isn’t like most
of the other magazines and in a straight line, the letters are all on different
levels. The colours used on the background are really professional as they all
complement each other and do not clash. The background colours also make the
main image stand out. But also a long shot has been used as you can see the
models whole body, I think this makes the content page look really effective
and professional.
I don’t like the MOJO content page as it looks
really boring and dull in comparison to the other content pages. However the
content page overall is clear and easy to read which is professional but I do
not think the content page is eye-catching as it looks boring. The content page
has also used a variety of different colours, some bright whereas some are
dark. It does look readable however I don’t think they go very well together
and I think the target audience for this magazine is older people or people
interested in the theme of the magazine.
Overall from doing this mood board it has given
me ideas about what I want my final content page to look like, I have now also
started thinking about colours and what sort of shot I am going to use on my
model. But I now feel confident about what the key features are of a content
page and how to make it grab people’s attention, I will also place my content
page on the left hand side of the magazine as if the reader was to be having a
quick flick through then the left hand side of the magazine is usually the most
important side. However overall I am really pleased with the information I have
gained when creating this mood board.
