Complete contents page for my music magazine

This is my completed contents page. Personally, i like the layout of the page because it is not overcrowded making it easy for my target audience to read. I also like the colour scheme as it is bright and focuses mainly on the colour red. Therefore, it isn't targeted to a particular gender. It targets both male and female which was my intentions. In addition to this, the black and white images of the music artists, breaks down the level of bright colour. So it does not look too bright and intense. I have included page numbers next to famous artists names on the band index so that it is easy for the audience to find an article the want to read rather than looking for the page. As well, i have added a publish date so the audience know if the magazine is new or old. Plus, it almost links traditional and modern together. Making the magazine unique. Furthermore, i have included a banner which has the magazine website and social media details (twitter and Instagram). This, therefore attracts more audience into reading the magazine. The typography and 'Devotion' logo gives off a bold affect. This is to make the name of the magazine noticeable. Overall, i am pleased with the outcome of my music magazine contents page because it really links to my potential audience and the aims i am trying to achieve in order for it to grab attention.

Photoshop tools used...

The Horizontal type tool allowed me to add text to my contents page. Without this, i would not be able to add text to my contents page would prevent me from creating it.




The rectangular marquee tool is used to select the area around an image that has been dragged into photoshop. So i was able copy and paste the image across to another layer/ my contents page.

Above, shows the edit copy, edit paste process i used to paste images across to my contents page layer. I used this to get photos of celebrities from the internet, then dragging them into photoshop, selecting the rectangular marquee tool and finally, selecting edit, copy, edit paste. For example, i used this process for the 'Devotion logo' which i took from google images.

Here is the fonts list in which i used to choose different styled fonts for my text. It allowed me to choose some fonts that were uppercase and some fronts that were lower case, separating important information from less important information. There were particular fonts which i have used for my contents page, this was because i wanted particular text to stand out and look bold.

This colour chart allowed me to select the shade of colour i wanted for my text. For example, i wanted a particular shade of red for some of my text (Band index), in order for it to match the background shade of red of the image of the model.
