FINAL CONTENTS PAGE


This is my final contents page, I had initially completed my contents page with a different design but after evaluating it, I realised it was letting down the rest of my magazine as it didn't have the same effect and it had a boring, plain look to it. Because of that, I decided to change to a full image which would be of my model that is the main feature of my magazine. I believe that this image is much more appealing to the eye as it gives the page more vibrance.

This was my previous contents page:


Although I kept the colour scheme the same, I personally think the new layout of my contents page is more effective.

FINAL DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD


This is my final double page spread, and after looking at inspiration from various magazines even those which aren't music related, I was inspired to play around with shapes and colours for my spread as I found that it worked quite effectively on pictures with simple backgrounds. I chose the colour scheme blue, white and black in particular as I thought it matched quite well with the pink my model is wearing. Although in the brief it does state that the colour scheme should be consistent, I thought it was unrepresentative of existing magazines as they don't tend to continuously use the same colors. Because of this I wanted my spread to be very simple, fresh and easy to read. In terms of the design however, I kept the text fonts and style the same to the ones I used before to show a level of consistency.

Over all I am happy with my double page spread and believe I have produced something which I wanted and is also representative of existing music magazines.
