The document describes the development of a contents page for a magazine aimed at young females. It discusses taking inspiration from other magazines' use of subtitles, sections, and graphic features. The initial contents page was bare, so more graphics were added to engage the target audience. Boxes were included to contain sections and hearts were added by page descriptions. Font sizes and colors were increased and adjusted to draw the eye and convey vibrancy and dominance as desired for a pop star-focused magazine.

1. Contents Page
Progression

2. Contents Design & Inspiration
I gained inspiration for my contents page
by using this Top of The Pops page. I used
subtitles to separate the different sections,
as seen in the Tops of the Pops magazine.
I also borrowed the idea
of using various graphic
features spread across
the page, to make it
visually interesting and
to entertain my target
audience.

3. Contents Design Continued…
In my first paper plan I decided to include an editors
letter, as this was something I saw featured in other
magazines e.g. heat, which is aimed at females of a
similar age to my own target audience.
However for my first and final editions
of my contents I decided to remove
this feature, as I felt is was
unnecessary and I could use the
space for more graphic features,
which were likely to appeal more to
my target audience.

4. Contents Page – First
Addition
I have followed my original paper plan by
including subtitles, sections and graphic
features. However I quickly realised that the
first addition of my contents page was bare
and needed to be much busier.
Following this I decided that I needed to
add more graphic features to my
contents, and possibly begin to overlap
pictures and text to make the page
appear more crowded. In addition I could
also include the use of shapes such as
boxes and improve the general layout.

5. Contents – Final
Having looked over my previous paper plan and
my initial first design, I added lots more graphic
features to maintain the interest of young
females.
Furthermore I added boxes which contain the
different sections of my magazine and also
placed hearts next to each brief page
description. I also increased the size of the
page numbers to make them more visible, and
used the colour yellow to connote happiness
and vibrancy.
I highlighted some pieces of text, to make it
edgy and interesting as yellow will catch the
readers eye.

6. Contents - Final Continued…
The subtitles are also now included in boxes and
the font size has been increased to make the text
more dominant. The colour black also connotes
this idea of power and dominance, the kind of
presence that pop stars typically have.
Some page numbers are highlighted in white with
a glowing outer ridge, to connote this theme of
dreams and becoming a star, similar to the main
title of the magazine.
Other new features included a sneak preview
article of Justin Beiber, whom is a popular artist
among young females.
