Contents development

This is an initial template for what may become my final version of the contents page. I have chosen a font similar to the original masthead found on the cover, which continues the general theme of the magazine, and appropriate genre.

  My contents was further developed to include picture frames and the house style colour was added along with a geometric design to add an element of intrigue. Once i received feedback, I decided to start from scratch due to faults in design as well as many other elements.  

This is what the contents finally came to. The background image of a hotel building creates an appropriate look due to the applied neon glow effect. The overall layout of the page is unique due to the slanted text however, the house style still remains intact.

Due to feedback i have decided to change the entirety of the contents page to make it fit the conventions of the genre and the house style of the magazine as a whole. The "contents" text is a smaller version of the masthead from the cover and the text of the sub-titles "Features" and "News", have been altered to look handwritten/brushstroke. This is an influence taken from the magazines that i have previously analysed. Additionally the text is displayed down the right hand side only and is not presented at an angle much like the previous version, making it harder to read. The page itself is much more disciplined in terms of layout as not many things overlap e.g. the text over the picture.
