Contructing the Contents page

After constructing my Front page I then had to produce a contents page. One thing was for certain, and that was that it had to link to my front page. This could be achieved by using the same colour scheme. Also I used a different font to that of the title, I used the same one as the tag line. One of the things I was criticised for in the preliminary task was the that my fonts looked too similar. So this time around I used a clearer and distinct fonts. For the background of the contents page I added effects to give it a Punk/Gothic look to it. I divided the page into two. The bottom half contained the magazine exclusive and it took up the whole of the bottom half of the page. I placed a picture of the band and added some lighting effects and out glows. I also wrote the words 'STAGE EXCLUSIVE' in clear lettering so it was obvious what the main story was about. I also placed a picture of the band as articles normally have a picture next to them about showing who it is about. I decided to place the word Contents in a slanted position in the top left hand corner and bigger than the rest of text as it is the title of the page. In the rest of the top half of the page i put other stories and articles that would be included in this magazine.





After receiving feedback on my contents page I then made some minor adjustments to it. For example I made 'Stage Exclusive' in even bigger lettering and I also added some more text. One thing that I haven't mentioned is the the reason for the choice of font colour. I chose to do white on black and white on black. I did this for the obvious reason that they are two contrasting colours and stand out.
