To connect with my burgundy masthead, I used burgundy coloured font for consistency in the phrase 'contents' and 'features' this will keep a professional flow throughout my magazine. I have ensured the main story is featured in burgundy as it's my main house colour.
Like my front page, the colour scheme for the contents page is identical. I have kept the idea of purple, green and white so that my stories stand out and look official... I made sure that the same colour fonts were kept away from one another to avoid a colour clash.
I have continued to use the fonts 'Segoe UI Semibold' and 'Courier' but for my contents page, to prevent the page from looking boring, I included Arial Black too on the quote for my main story. I have underline the quote off the main story so that it stands out and is clear to the reader that this is the article to watch out for, it is the most important one. All of the fonts look quite edgy and sharp, linking to the clear loud genre of music my magazine is about.
To make a link to my inspiration mixmag, I added the the page numbers on top of the images of the secondary artists in my magazine. This will give 'move' a sense of professionalism - allowing me to understand how layout of a magazine can appeal to the target audience.
I ensured that all of the stories were positioned with gaps in between establishing that they're all different, this could also be understood by my use of different font colours for each story. I included all of the stories that were on my front page inside my contents page to keep my magazine appearing real and organised.
I used paint.net to add the secondary images. I was influenced by mixmag again to do this. I think it makes my magazine look nice and busy and shows that I had a range of images to choose from for my magazine. I made sure I used both genders so that 'move' will appeal to its target audience successfully.
Overall, I am happy with my first draft of my contents page because I included more than one image, successfully achieved symbiosis (through the house colours - consistency of burgundy) and made my contents page relate to my magazine of influence mixmag, in more than one way.
However, to improve on 'move's' contents page, I will possibly included the magazine's website at the bottom of the page and maybe a link to the twitter/facebook page to make it appear popular. I may also include my selling line on the contents page if it doesn't look too busy. For improvement I must also remember to keep my text underneath the title and page number all lower case so it doesn't seem rushed.
