The document discusses the design process for a magazine contents page. It describes how the author structured the page layout by drawing a draft to determine where elements like page numbers and headings would be placed. The author also wants to include a large main image under the "contents page" heading to make the magazine look realistic. Feedback from Karen suggests changing the issue text color and adding a background to the bottom image to improve readability and cohesion.

3. As you can see from my drawn draft, I structured where I wanted everything
to go, so that when I create my second draft I would have an idea of how the
design should be and where everything should be. On the left of the contents
page I used that space of the paper to draw where the page numbers would
go, then the review would be placed on the bottom of the page. I structured
it out like this because, when I was looking at actual music magazines they
were set out in this way, and I want my contents page to be realistic so I need
to keep it in that formation. Also, I would like for there to be a main image
underneath from where it says contents page, this is to also keep the
magazine genuine, and it may be the first thing people would focus on when
they look at the contents page as it would be large and probably the most
colourful thing on the page.

5. Looking at my second draft I, I like the way that I set out everything e.g how
there are sub headings, then the page numbers down below it, because this
is a similar way that NME and Kerrang magazine lay out there contents
page, which makes mine look realistic. Also, I like how the words ‘contents
page’ stand out, as they have a complete different font to anything on the
page, this is a good thing as it means it would grab the audiences attention
and will make them look the things mentioned in the contents page.
However, for my final design, I would like to change the bottom image, as I
removed the background of it, and looking at it now it looks out of place.

6. Feedback from Karen:
I think that your contents page looks really good, and is well structured like
the heading, then subheadings and the images are placed in good places.
However, I think that you should change where you wrote the issue of the
magazine, as its quite hard to read, because the brown text clashes with the
red rectangle behind it. My advice would be to change the title ‘contents
page’ to black and make a white rectangle behind it, then change the colour
of the text. I would also agree with what you say about the bottom image, I
think that you should create a background behind it, to make it match the
rest of the page.
