Contents Page.

When designing my contents page, I decided that I didn't need, or want any inspiration from current magazines, as I wanted this page, to be unique, and match my gothic/60's theme. I used three of my own images, and two images off the internet to portray a male band, against my female band, as the magazine can be read by female and male readers. To me, pictures look boring and plain with pointed, straight edges, so I found a website, called 'Picnic'. This website enabled me to choose from a variety of shapes, for example, 'rounded corners'. To keep the 60's style, I found a new font called 'Backstage pass NF' which I used on the numbers on my content page. To keep with the gothic feel, I used almost 'chalked' lines to separate each description of what pages where inside. To create contrast, I used a duck egg blue colour, "THE JUNE RUSH", as it stood out from the dark grey/blacks, creating a vintage effect. The layout of the page, is quite structured, which contrasts with the front cover, as the cover is very busy, and crowded. I have placed a 'shadow' effect under each picture, to create a nice 3D effect, to make them stand out.
