This is the new design for my Volume music magazine's contents page.

 

For the contents page I have changed its style alot by making it have three sections rather than it all being one big thing, these sections are:

• Features
• Reviews
• News

This is a technique that many professional music magazines tend to use quite often.

I have used the same font as the masthead for the Contents text and I have put a small image of the masthead in the top right corner.

Scott Wharton who is a member of my group in media is using the same sort of design so that our magazines look very similar to each other, this is good becuase they wont have the same masthead and look completely different, instead they will have the same layout but slightly different keeping it professional.

 

I have added two pictures to the contents page, one of the band The Makers in a comical pose and the other of bandmate Josh Davies posing with his hood up. These pictures have relevance to this magazine becuase it is a rock magazine and the two pictures look like pictures that would be in a real music magazine, they show comical value as well as a serious value which is what customers want, not just the same thing throughtout the whole magazine. Having pictures on a contents page is good also becuase it shows the viewer of the magazine a sneak peak of what they will inside the magazine.

 

I have listed numbers down the left hand side of each section with a band name next to the number, this shows what category a band are under and what page they are on. 

The number of pages go up to 50, this is becuase professional music magazines have alot of pages and becuase the magazine is £1.50 it would let customer know that they are getting their moneys worth when buying this magazine from a store.

 

The colour scheme of the contents page is the similar to the front cover with the black white and red but I have used a grey background to make the pictures and text stand out more. Scott is also using a similar colour scheme but instead of white he has used a slightly darker approach and is using red, black and yellow as his three colours.
