Magazine Layout Plan (contents)

This is a layout plan for what I want my contents page to look like within the magazine. I decided that the title's font should be quite large and visible with a colour of grey as the background would be black. I have chosen to include an "M" before the word 'contents' because when I did my research, I found that multiple magazines used this technique and I like the concept of it as in my opinion, it gives the magazine some identity and would make it different from any other. I still like the idea of the purple and black theme and therefore I made "features" and "Every Month" to be portrayed in purple to continue with the colour scheme of the magazine as a whole.

I decided to have writing on the right hand side and some images of artists on the left as it looks better on the page. It give the reader some understanding of what will appear in the magazine and it will therefore make them want to continue to read it. At the bottom, under all the images, I decided to have a note to promote the world tour that Counted have been on. By saying that there are pictures on the Margin website makes the target audience do further research into the magazine in order to find out more. This would create hype and buzz and they would get excited about their favourite artists.
