For his magazine contents page, the author tried different font sizes and colors for the title before choosing to crop it and save it as a JPEG to make it more vibrant. He selected Times New Roman as the font for the feature articles as it is clear and easy to read. He used a blue and black color scheme to contrast with the contents page and create an effect. After initially choosing black, he realized most music magazine contents pages do not use black backgrounds, so opted for white instead. He changed some fonts to black and white for better contrast and a more "indie" look. Finally, he changed the headline color to black for a neater, more stylish appearance.
1. For my contents page I tired numerous ways to make my title look presentable. I tried
different font sizes and colours to see what one would look the best. Finally I chose to
crop my front cover title of “louder” and save it as a jpeg to make the contents page
look more vibrant.
2. I then went onto to add my feature articles I chose the font “times new roman” as I
think it is a suitable font for my magazine as is clear and easy to read. I used the
blue and the black as this is colour scheme as I wanted it to contrast in with my
contents page as this creates effect.
3. • I then went on to deciding my background I originally decided black but I then
went on to realise that not allot of music magazine contents pages have a
black background so I thought the white would be a better option.
4. • I changed the blue font to the black and white font as it looked more effective and
contrasted with my colour scheme it also looks more indie which is my genre rather
than the blue font which looked plain.
5. I then changed and moved “gig guide” next to monthly so that the would be more
room for pictures
6. I then added all the pictures to my contents page with page numbers
picture 8 I took at v festival in the summer picture 19 I took at v festival
picture 17 I took at Coldplay in Manchester in the Etihad arena I took
picture 15 at snow patrol in Liverpool and picture 14 I took at Ellie
Golding in Liverpool
7. I lastly changed the colour
of my headline from blue
to black I did this as I
thought it looked more
neater and stylish and
made my contents page
look indie.
