Final Contents Page!!!

Next is my contents page, again i am happy with this page as i think that it actually does look like a real contents page, after analyisng a few contents pages i found that a lot of them were quite plain and boring so i wanted mine to have more on it that would attract the reader. For the heading i didn't just want "contents" as this is seen in nearly all magazines so i decided to have "This Week" instead, this shows to the reader that the magazine is fresh and updated weekly which should make the reader intrigued as to what is happening in the world of music in this present week. I used different style of fonts for the header to make it stand out more and appear more interesting, the swirly type font also gives the page a feminine pressence about it which again suits my target audience. I still had to have "contents" on my page somewhere so i decided to place it down the right hand side, if readers are flickering through they will see this pop out at them again hopefully drawing them into the page. I have used a few artist images to show what is in the magazine, the main headlining image is of the feature article Lois, the image shows a more relaxed approach to the artist as i didnt want this image to dominte over the feature article images. The other band "Lava Pop" are featured on the main cover so i added an image of them to the contents page to catch peoples attention, it can also be a bit of eye candy for females or just interest males who are fans of the band. I chose the colour palette of pink, black and white to give a girlie "pop" feel yet a more "indie" feel to the page, i have used the pinks for text that i want to stand out to the reader. I also added an editors letter to the left hand side of the page to keep it away from the main focus' of the page yet to provide information about the magazine to the reader, i added an image to the letter which gives the letter/page a more fun/relaxed appraoch to it. For the text used for the main subheadings and contents pages, i decided to use a more plain style to keep the reader attracted to the images and to give the page a nice professional look.
