Firstly, the background of this contents page is light grey, however, in the middle it is a little darker, I like this as it works very effectively when everything comes together. The middle being darker makes the centre in more focus and makes the readers get more attracted to the middle as it is in a darker shade.
As you can see here, I created a darker shade of grey for the 'T' in the background, if i made it lighter it wouldn't of worked or stood out. Also, I asked potential readers what they thought of it and the majority of people stated that this worked very effectively and it looks more like a R&B contents as magazines like Vibe use this idea, therefore I went for this as majority of the people I asked agreed that it was a good idea, and I personally think it is effective.
I told the model to smile as her teeth is very bright and white, which is within the colour scheme. The image of the model is her posing in a way were she looks superior and a true r&b artist with the clothing.
My contents page title is on the right, here I wanted to make my magazine similar to 'Vibe's contents title layout', which is an existed magazine, therefore, It will then be similar. My potential readers stated that by inputting this idea it makes it look more like a r&b magazine conventionally, also, it looks really good and effectively done. By making the title bold I believe it helps it stand out more and has that wow effect. Also, I included the '1/3' bit right next to the contents title as it shows which issue it is, also, my partner for this production is using 2/3, we thought it would be a very good idea as you can see here;
RIGHT SIDE:
- Red (Burgund)
- White
- &Black
Also, I made the font for 'Features' a different font as it is the sub-title of the page. All the text have different front and colour, if I didn't make the font different and made all the font the same for every text on this page, it would look very dull and not attractive.
Furthermore, I put a "FREE POSTER INSIDE!" near the bottom of the page, this will therefore attract the potential audicence more as it is eye catching and, who doesn't want a poster of a 'favourite' celebrity. For example; people would want a poster of celebs like chris brown or beyonce. And 'Jada Louis' is a successful artist who is popular and is adored, so many people would want a free poster of her.
The reason why I decided to change the image on the right, by turning it so that it is diagonal, this works so much better.Therefore, I asked people whether they thought it was a good idea & they said it is because; "it is less 'square', the two boxes being squares make it boring and plain", so then I inputed the diagonal look as you can see from the right side image and the left one. It work very successfully.
Additionally, I added a signature of the r&b artist as this will make more people want to get the magazine, and be attracted to the poster as having an image of a celebrity will be great (for free), but it will be awesome if i were to include the signature so people will be exited to get this issue, as shown on the left.
On the bottom right side, I included the page number of the contents page and also the issue date. Also, I made the font of the text and the colours different for the two issue date and the page number, this is because I wanted to have a clear separation from the page number and the issue date.
Furthermore, I put the page number on the right side because; In most R&B magazines they have the page number of the contents page of the right side and not the left, so therefore I conformed the things r&b contents pages do.
