FINAL Contents

This is my final contents page of my indie pop music magazine. I liked the idea of keeping the darker colours as a theme throughout this media text because it gives the magazine a sense of personality. From all the drafts that I have done and from my preliminary task for my contents page, I came to a conclusion that the page below best fit the genre of my music magazine. I used mostly darker colours however, I wanted it to seem more interesting with a splash of the colour purple. This particular colour is used on my front page cover as well because of Kiera's hair most of all. I included a colour as well as having dark colours portrayed in order to show a recurring theme throughout the magazine. I found this concept works in successful magazines such as Rolling Stones and therefore I wanted to try it out, furthermore, it worked in my opinion. When taking the images for my magazine, I had to make sure they looked individual and different from normal pictures that are being taken. This included visiting certain places with people in order to reach the best look possible. We were asked to include at least 12 sections of writing that appear in the magazine, so when I thought I had finished I had to revisit the writing on the page, make the font smaller and add a lot more. This process took a while but it was worth it for the finishing product. For the title of the page, I found that with other magazines, they used their first initial of the name of the magazine and then laid out the word, "contents" next to it. I liked how this aspect looked on a page and this alluded to including it in my own magazine.
