Contents Page

This is my final contents page. I followed my sketch as much as I could. I feel I've made it a simple layout, making it easy to understand how things are organised, and it is easy to read due to the font being a very basic 'Arial'. I started off by creating the empty version of the contents page, where I just had text boxed and image boxes, so I would try and keep it all to size. I then added in my photos to the image boxes and changed the sizes of them accordingly. After this I then added in my features list, and the 'exclusive' over the picture. I then went on to adding in the title, as I was unsure of whether I was going to use a separate font but in the end I decided I preferred it when it used the same font as the rest of the page. After all the main text was down, I then changed the colour of it to bright colours which would be associated with the dance music genre. I kept the title the same shade of red as the front cover title to keep some sort of them going as they looked quite separate pages without the red. I was then left with an empty space in the bottom left which I filled with the editor and designers names as this is in a number of magazines I looked at in the contents page, although maybe not taking up so much space. I was told by someone that the black outline boxes of the bottom image and the names in the bottom left were not lined up correctly, but I had a problem with the computer and on the screen it looked aligned although when printed it never was 100% exact.
