Creating My Contents Page.

I carried my house style to my contents page to show the link between my magazine, as I would like it to be visibly the same as the front cover. This included adding the brown footer, the gradient black background and the white line between the footer and the gradient.

I also chose to add a faded 'LF' in the background to show it is the 'LeftField' magazine without seeing that title on the page. This will be carried on throughout my double page spread and would be inside each page of my magazine to show that it is the 'LeftField' magazine.





Next I chose to add 'Contents' and 'LeftField' to show that this is the contents page. However, I chose to put 'Content' bigger than 'LeftField' as readers would have already seen the front cover. Therefore, they will know that it is the 'LeftField' magazine. As well as this, the contents page tends to stand out and a lot of people are going to look at it. Therefore, I made sure that this was still a good size to catch the reader as they are skim reading over the page.






Next I added my model from my front cover to make sure that I had shown consistency and also to show that he is the main feature of this magazine. I added him slightly towards the left to give space for the contents of my magazine and allow all the contents to be placed together.










Next in the bottom right hand corner I added a space for people to read about subscribing to the magazine; as I would like the audience to have the choice of subscribing and that it is an offer for the magazine. As well as this I decided to add the rhetorical question "Want information on gigs and new bands?" in order to show the audience what is included in each magazine. Along with "Monthly updates on you favourite band" to tell the audience how often they would recieve a new magazine.

I also added a bigger headline for the double page spread; showing where this is located in the magazine and also what it is about, telling the audience "2 pages on the biggest artist of 2017" This stands out a lot more than the rest of the magazine, which shows that it is the biggest article throughout the magazine.


Next, to make sure that there was no empty room next to the picture I decided to place a description of each picture, to take up the room and give credit. This is in smaller writing and also is not bold as this is not important.


I also added on the right hand side of the model each headline of the magazine with a short headline in bold and a bigger writing. However, a little description was added underneath each headline to show what the article was about. I made sure this was all in white because each article has the same amount a of importance as the other articles. As well as this, I added the numbers in red as they would stand out more and show what article is on each page. This also carries on with my house style as red is a main colour throughout my magazine.

I also added in the bottom right hand corner 'contests' and 'quizes' these are in smaller writing as they are not as important.

Above my footer I added the logo for my magazine 'LF' to make it clearer that this is the 'LeftField' magazine. Although I have used the footer to show the platforms that my magazine can be seen on such as: Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, as well as a web link. I also gave information about what issue and what date this magazine came out.
