Contents Page Deconstruction

This was the first contents page that I completed on the program called Canva, I thought its overall look was very unique because of the use of the circle in the middle of the page. After comparing it to other music magazines such as Billboard, I found that the other look of my contents page looked very sparse compared to others. It was lacking a lot of detail due to me only including a small amount of articles that were going to be included in my magazine. I don't think my layout of my contents page was very effective compared to my front page. There wasn't really a continued theme throughout the two pieces of work. The layout of this contents page also didn't allow photos to be seen as well because the circle was very bold. 

This was my second layout of my contents page. At first I wasn't too sure what I should include, and also whether I should include some colour into my issue of the magazine as my front cover was just grey, white and black.

The way that I set out my contents page at first was quite plain and exactly like a typical page spread. I attempted to mix the layout a bit by adding a variety of photos which I had taken in my photo-shoot, this is so then the readers wont get boring as it isn't the same photo that is being used throughout the issue. I felt at first it didn't look right as I hadn't taken any photos relating to the other features included in this issue, then I moved the layout around a little and made the photos of my model the main focus of the page as they were the only photos that I had taken.

I continued the colour scheme of black, white and grey from the front cover to the contents page. I feel like the colour's work well together and give a sense of the 'Indie' fashion magazine that I took some aspects from such as the simplistic layout and the amount of writing used on cover. I've stuck with this idea because I feel it makes the magazine issue as a whole, completely new and unique, as well as trying to stay away from the whole set up and usual conventional idea.

As you can see by this contents page, all the photos are from the same shoot. I want to show a variety of photos, so I am going to do another photo shoot with the same model but in different clothes as well as in different places so then there is a variety of different backgrounds so then my target audience doesn't get bored.
