Contents Draft 1


This is my first contents page draft. For the contents page, I researched different rock magazines to see how they did theirs and I found Kerrang!'s contents page to be the most suitable design when making mine. I focused on using all the main conventions in a magazines contents to make mine look as realistic as possible. The colours I have chosen; red and black and white are very consistent as I have used them on my front cover and I am also going to use them as my main colours on my double page spread. I feel like all the headlines and texts I have used are eye -catching and they fill the space in well. Also, all the features I have used have appeared on the front cover which is following conventions as it stays the same throughout. I think my letter from the editor is good as I followed similar to what they have done in Kerrang! so I haven't spoke too much about irrelevant things and just kept it brief and understandable. I have also used four photos which is the minimum for the contents page but I could possibly do with maybe one other one to fill more of the space in. When I took the pictures that feature on the contents page I made sure the model brought appropriate clothing to fit in with the rock genre so that it didn't look unrealistic. I think my drafts are good but possibly some of the font needs changing for specific bits of text so they fit more within the genre of my magazine.
