MAKING OF: CONTENTS PAGE

I created a box in the shade maroon (as it is part of my colour scheme) and as it was too dark at first I changed the opacity to 80% to lighten it a little. 

I have included the "FEATURES" section on the left hand side on the contents page.
I preferred having the numbers of the pages in a bold font so that it can stand out and not clash with the text next to it. To keep my constant theme and style of my magazine I used the font CLASS A REGULAR just so that it does not differentiate from the other pages and instead has a continuous style.

MAKING OF: CONTENTS PAGE

To create my CONTENTS page title I have used the type tool to add a line through the text as I feel as though it adds an indie gist to it, as it is something unusual and different, just like the music genre of Indie Pop itself.

 I also used the grid method so that it can assist me on how to align the text so that it is straight and also helped with keeping it one box down from the edge of the page, which is one of the conventions of a contents page as the title of it should not be right at the top, and should leave some space.

I also decided to use the colour black as I wanted to maintain my colour scheme (as mentioned in my pitch) I felt that it fits best in the context that I am basing my music magazine on. For example; as I am focusing on the Indie Pop genre, it is known for its originality, bright colours that pop, but also dark colours to balance the colour scheme and the intense vibrant colours. Which is what I wish to do for my contents page, to meet the criteria.

RESEARCHING CONTENTS PAGE: ANALYSIS

CONTENTS PAGE MOODBOARD

As part of my magazine research, I have looked into a range of contents page in which they are all different from one another as they have their unique style. For example, VIBE use a continuous colour scheme and same style of font for their contents page. On the other hand there is WE LOVE POP music magazine where they use a range of bright colours but still sticking to the same font. I have created this moodboard to assist me on any ideas that these contents page consist of, and will allow me to picture how my contents page will potentially look like.
