Contents Page Progress

When first doing my contents page I wanted to have a funky looking background, my initial idea was to have pink leopard print which runs along with the 'glam-rock' theme of the magazine itself/main feature/front cover. Although after trying out what this will look like, I changed my mind:


I thought this looked quite immature and doesn't really suit the target audience of Trash (males AND females).
I still liked the idea of having a kind of border around the white page for the contents page so I tried out colours that relate to the front page theme:



Although, I still thought these didn't look right and was not the look i was really looking for. So I began to create my contents page on a plain white background, here is what it looked like when I first started it:


I like the prospects of this style and I think I will stick with it for my final idea, though i still need to finish it up and change fonts etc. My main picture on the front cover is conventionally in relation to the main feature and I would like to collect live pictures from gigs I am going to which are coming up. The current layout is very simple, but i like that.

Front Page Progress

So far I have almost finished my magazine for my rock genre music magazine, called TRASH. I still have certain things to edit and change but the I am content with the progress of the front cover, after spending a lot of time on it I began to get frustrated with what I had to change and what I wanted to keep the same so I temporarily abandoned the front cover to start off my contents page, here is a screen shot of what my front cover looks like at the moment:

I have the main codes and conventions of a music magazine included in my front cover, though some of the text does not stand out as much as it maybe should. I like the colour scheme as I think it portrays my ideas and ambitions of the magazine very well so that is something I would like to keep. The font of the title is really cool and professional looking, an individual font thing much like Kerrang's title and 'logo'.
