Drafting and Planning: Contents Page Changes


What I have changed??? - My contents page has been changed hugely. I have stuck to most of the changes I wanted as proposed in a previous blog post. 

  • I have not changed the social media page, but I have enlarged it. This makes it fit the space more, making it clearer. I have also added a grey and pink trimmed line around the boxes edge to make the feature more defined. 
  • I have added a new heading "ON THE COVER" on the left hand side of the page to highlight the stories on the front cover more. I have also added a boxed detail with a coloured trim. The colours I have used incorporate my colour scheme more on the page. The text has also been highlighted with a while lined detail, further enhancing it. 
  • The colour on the page now looks more girly and matches my target audience more. I have also ensures that the colour scheme runs from the front cover onto the contents page. 
  • I have changed one of my images of a secondary artist, as I believe the new image worked with the look of the magazine - I also edited the picture to show my artists name written on the tower behind her, which adds a fun element. I have also changed the size of the image of my main artist. This has made it look less stretched out, which works on the page. 
  • Changing the size of the image has also allowed me to adjust the sizing of the box containing the pages heading "CONTENTS." It now doesn't overlap the image and stands alone on the page. It has also allowed me to add a third heading as previously mentioned. 
  • The font colour on my images have been changed to make them clearer. I have took away the green colour and stuck to just white and pink. Which I think works well over the colour of the images. 
  • I have also added to the musical and girly theme further, by adding more music notes around the page  - but I have coloured this various tones of grey -  along with them I have added pink stars which brings the whole look of the magazine together. 
  • I have changed the colour of the center dividing line to pink which makes the division brighter and have also lined the images and the heading to keep the pink going through the page. This separates the features but also adds a girly tone to the page. 

I am pleased with how my contents page looks, it has come a long way from my first contents page and it matches my first expectations of my magazine look.
