This is my completed contents page for my magazine. To finish I added a subscription at the bottom of the page. The subscription will lead to the website, I wanted to put the web address on the bottom of the page so that my readers know that Shuffle is a multi-platform brand. this will also be present on each page along with the date, logo and page numbers. I have a regulars section where I have included real artists that appealed to my target audience, I found these artists out when I looked back over my audience questionnaire. I have also kept the colour scheme consistent through to the contents page, this will keep the magazine looking professional and tidy. I wanted all my pages to look similar however I thought this one looked bare, to solve this I decided to create a number of lines surrounding the masthead and sub heading. This now makes the page look more unique as it will not be done on another page.
There is also a bar at the bottom of the page and from my research I found that a lot of magazines do this to divide the pages. I then decided that I wanted to use this and also add the masthead at the bottom to keep the brand name flowing. I also used bold black lines on the regulars section to divide the stories in the magazine.
The main picture on my page is of my main artist, Callum. I used him so the reader knows that the main article will be based on him. I also added images of younger artists on the contents page, I used younger artists as it would appeal to my target audience. For one of my images I have added a quote next to it, I seen this in a Q magazine and thought it was different and I wanted to make my magazine unique.
Overall I am happy with how my contents page turned out. I don't think it looks as well as a profession contents page. I have achieved what I wanted out of this page but I had to cut down on the amount of images I wanted on this page. This doesn't affect the page as it still has a basic design. I feel that there are some things that I can improve on such as they layout but overall I am pleased with my end product.
