Contents Page Development


This is the first part of my development for my contents page. I have added in the blue directional lines that allow for the reader to follow around the page very well. I have also added in the contents page heading and the chart list to the left of the page.
The contents heading is in a stencil font which to me adds another dimension to the page as it appears a bit out of place and is jagged in differentiation to the smooth fonts across the page.
As for the charts list, I have added a grey rectangle to bring the writing I will add out of the page and make it more visible to reader. In addition to this I have used a stencil cutout 'NO1' at the top, this uses the same technique as the contents header and allows for the reader to see at a glance what is underneath the heading.

Finally I have added the imagery,  although they are the same , I have done this to see where I want the pictures on the page.


For this image you can see that I have added the numbers for the pages. I have used a set of bright colour for the numbers, for some I have kept the colour the same as well as the numbers to suggest that particular content is on that one page. I have used the bright colours to add interest to the fairly bland grey background. In addition I have added the titles to each set of pages 'Songs' ETC, in yellow to link in with my masthead design. This categories are to allow the reader to find a specific part they might be looking for. Finally I have added in the pictures, I have relocated the imagery to to upper third of the page so the reader can see the artists quicker as the human eye reads left to right then down the page. In addition I have changed up the imagery, the first being Iggy England which links to the DPS and it shows the page number, The second is a Jessie J Concert at Eden which appeals the the target audience, and finally the third is a subject I took the picture of but didn't use in my 3 pages. However he would be spoke about later in the magazine.


Here Is my final page. I have added in the text to this page to finish of, parts include: Contents, Charts, online Information and competitions. The font is fairly small which links to billboard and is short and to the point which allows the reader to quickly find parts they like. In addition to this I have added in green and blue fonts to allow for even quicker location finding for the reader.

Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome as it fits my target audience well with the linking artists and new songs they are interested. But it still has more classical songs suggested that the older audience will like.
