Firstly, I changed the background colour to black because this is what typical mixmag magazines have. The colour black will remind the reader of a dark night club for example. I made the main artist image smaller but kept it still prominent. I think the background of the main image being lime green keeps a sense of consistency and it compliments the black, white and burgundy. I have used a larger number of magazine stories, there are over 112 pages worth - this is similar to mixmag... the monthly issue has around 130 pages. I kept the fonts consistent by using Consolas and Courier New. In the next official draft I will use Amity Jack for the titled font. By highlighting the titles of stories in burgundy, it makes them stand out from the main stories which are highlighted in white. I changed the colour of the facebook and twitter logo to lime green to add to the consistent colour scheme; and changed the page number to a lime green colour too. I ensured that I added the URL's so that readers know where to find move magazine online. I added the numbers over the secondary images so that readers can easily access those stories and find the pages. I used a quote from the main artist over the image on the page to make it seem interesting and busy. I have now realised that the small details are very important and will continue to tweak bits of my contents page until it is perfect.
My magazine now looks not too dissimilar to a mixmag contents page:
