CONTENTS PAGE PRODUCTION

1.

This is my masthead for my contents page. I believe this is a suitable masthead as it seeks attention but also matches with my background picture. I also think that the colors will look very good and suit well with my text. Its not very bold and big but I think it still looks good because it looks strong and does suits well with my genre. Another reason I believe this is a successful masthead is because it is simple and effective.

2.LOGO AND PICTUREI have chosen to use this picture as I believe it suits with my music genre. This is because the outfit I have used matches with r&b music. Also I think the model suits well with the genre. Therefore I believe it is successful. Moreover the background looks simple and this makes the model stand out due to this I think this picture will be good for a contents page because there is not much going on additionally its easier to use my fonts and colors effectively. Therefore this picture will be a suitable for a contents page. This is my logo for my magazine. I have used a logo because it looks professional and also matches with my front cover masthead. This is because I used the letter D from my masthead on my front page. This Looks suitable and also makes the magazine more realistic.

3.BOX

I added this box because It is hard for me to add text on thisBackground because the background color is not very suitable for text. Additionally because It’s a brick background when I add text the text does not look appealing and the page does Not look like a real magazine. Therefore I added this transparent background to help me add My text. I think this would make my magazine look more effective as I could use many colors Because it is white. Therefore I added this white box. I added the white box by first cutting The model out and then doing another layer of her. Once I did this I did this white box. I put the Under the model. Which looks more effective and attractive. It was abit time consuming But I think the outcome is very good.

4.BANNER

In this screen shot I added another very smallBox and a banner. I think these are essentialBecause it makes the page look more attractiveAnd it’s important that my readers see the keyInformation. Therefore I added a black box and whiteAnd pink text which I think goes very well. ThereforeBoth the key information stands out and the magazineLooks attractive. Therefore I think this looks successful.

5.TEXTS

This is my texts for the contents page. I used black font color because I think it matches well with the background which makes the font stand out. Moreover I used a dark tone of grey for the numbers because I wanted them to be different because it looks very boring when all text is just one color. I try to use interesting information on my contents page as I think the contents page is important and should include conventional information. I included key features such as interview, competitions and MTV awards which will be very useful to attract target audience. Therefore I done them in bright pink which I think looks very sophisticated. I also think that by adding the pink text it goes well with my genre. Additionally I used banner at the bottom of the page to take attention of readers. I also did it white and big font so that it could appeal to my audience. To add on I noticed that most magazines have website on the contents page. I used pink for that too to make it seem as a essential and key information. I also think that by adding that the magazine looks more professional.

6.SMALL PICTUREI added a small image at the end of the page as I think it will look appealing and also most R&B magazine include small picture. To add on because all of the contents page is full with writing I think by adding a small picture it would make the page more engaging. The small picture would prevent the page looking boring and dull therefore I adding a small picture makes my page look more effective. Overall I think it looks good and I have placed it correctly on the page.

7.FINAL OUTCOMEOverall I believe this is a successful outcome and looks very attractive. This is because I believe it does suit with R&B genre and the use of the colors also match. Therefore the magazine overall looks very conventional and realistic. I believe I have used good information which is useful such as interviews ,quote and awards etc which instantly attracts the reader. Additionally I believe it looks professional as I used key elements from music magazines such as I created my own magazine logo. Therefore I believe it looks good and refers to my genre.
