For my third and fourth pieces of research, I decided to do research on existing contents pages and double paged spreads. I decided to do this as I felt it would give me additional help in understanding the type of look I'll need to achieve in order to create a successful magazine.
The two contents pages are from Vibe magazine and the reason I chose to specifically use examples from Vibe because I liked the simplicity of it and the ability to easily allow its readers to read the information but also be unique with its design. Elements such as the text font flows as it is the similar style used on Vibe's front cover. This helps readers to easily identify the magazine and also make it more visually appealing
For the double paged spreads, I took examples from Ebony Magazine. One of the main things which appealed to me about both spreads is how captivating they are. In both spreads they have used very powerful images which have appealing qualities to them. This is something I'll need to capture for my own magazine as the image is what initially makes the first impression.
