First Draft Content.

Contents






Before creating my contents page on Photoshop, I decided that it was best to look at existing contents pages of music magazines, my main inspiration was from Rolling Stone.
I felt that the layout of the magazine worked well, as I was inspired by some of the contents pages from Rolling Stone. The main image and feature underneath was something that I think worked well as it immediately makes it noticeable of what the main feature is. The brief introduction of the article underneath, I feel, would make a reader want to continue to read the full article, I did this also under the smaller second feature 'RedHed'.
I feel that both of the images work well together on the page, not overpowering one another, and the white background with bl;ac writing on top adds a classic and stylish look. This is something I have also been inspired to do by many music magazines.
I decided to brand on the page, at the top, as I found that many music magazines also did this as well as using the main subheadings of 'features', 'news', and, 'reviews', towards the bottom of the page.
The larger page numbers on top of the images were something that I found to be apparent a lot with Rolling Stones contents pages. When placing these, I lined them up again with the white of the background to continue the 'house-style' seen on the cover with the border and cover lines.
