Contents Page Drafts

When I first began my contents page this was the layout I was aiming for. After looking at previous contents pages I liked the look of having several pictures down the side, the page being split in half. These pictures were used as they had relevance to my coverlines.

I then entered my coverlines to fill out the black half of the page. there is still a lot of space at the top of the page and at the bottom.

To make the white area smaller, I stretched out the black area and added a small section to do with the magazine's website on top of the pictures to make it symmetrical. There was still too much space in the white area and at the bottom of the black area.

I then seperated my coverlines into sections, to space it out and make it look more like a typical contents page. I also added a section down the bottom advertising subscription offers to show a business aspect to my magazine. The website section above the pictures now also advertises business aspects, e.g. selling music online. 

This is my final contents page. To fill up the remaining space, I added more pictures to get rid of the white at the top, and extra coverlines to fill up the black area.

Front Cover Drafts

This was my first draft of my front cover for my magazine. I liked the look of the bricks in the background, however it is not finished because I decided a better look would be without the bricks and for the boys heads to be over the mastead.

I then experimented with cutting the bricks out and decided this result was the look I was aiming for. This is also not finished as the finish is rough and needs bricks being cut out down the bottom.

This is the beginning of my final front cover. I made sure the picture was cut out properly and neatly and added a red background to contrast the black and white everywhere else.

This is my final front cover for my magazine. After adding a red background and editing the photo, I added the coverlines, a puff, a barcode, etc, to add the final touches.
