contents page 2

 I have replaced the image of my girl band with another section of text (regulars) to fill the page more, as there were already too many images. I have also changed the page numbers to fit the common conventions of a magazine.

I have added another section to the page (album reviews) because I felt like all of the text down the right hand side of the page was too big. I shrunk the text size for everything which allowed me to create more space for another section and add more text at the top of the page including more artists. I got the idea from my contents page ideas which I wrote down. I got the ideas from looking at similar genre magazines and looking what they include.

contents page feedback

 

this is the layout of my contents page that I have designed. I asked my full media class their opinions of the design and the overall results were good as everyone liked it, however there was a few comments on how I could improve.

After their feedback I am going to take on board their suggestions and make a lot of the text smaller to fit more on, as contents pages usually have a lot more information and text on that I have put in mine.

These are the two images that I liked the best. I asked my target audience to choose their favourite image, which was the first one.

 I used Photoshop to crop out the green background so it was just a cut out of them. I edited the selective colour and hue saturation which took away the greenness that was on their clothes from the lighting of the green screen. I also used the colour replacement tool to get rid of any remaining green that was on their skin. I then created a new layer which was a plain white background then placed the image of the model on top of the layer.

when I added it to my magazine, I decided that it didn't fit my genre and therefore didn't include it in my final design,.

This is the original image I took for my contents page.

Image for contents page

I was lucky enough to capture this image on my phone when I was in the front row of their gig.  I have chosen this to be on my contents page because of the clear focus of the image, and it is similar to other band photos that I have saw in my style model magazines.

I took some photos at a gig a while back and thought they would fit the style of my magazine genre and would look good on the contents page, so I decided to use them.
