Contents page

This is the contents page of our music magazine. We researched the conventions of other music magazines before creating our own so as to gain inspiration and knowledge about the conventions used. We saw that there are obvious features such as a list of contents, folio and image. However, we also gained inspiration from some unconventional features in some music magazines. For example, we decided to include a band index on our contents page, as well as images of examples of pages in our magazine. We did this because we want our magazine to be as original and informative as possible for the audience; we want our magazine to be unconventional.

In terms of the image on our contents page, we took inspiration from the contents page of another music magazine which we found on the internet when researching for inspiration. This image is also an explanation for the layout of our contents page, as we wanted to fit the text featured around the image as much as possible, and we have done so here.

We edited the image; putting it in black and white and highlighting the model's purple shoes. We wanted to do this in order to create some originality and brand identity for our music magazine; we decided that we wanted to have every photo in our music magazine in black and white with something purple pulled through so as to create individuality for our magazine. By doing this we are conveying our house colours, as well as creating a very classy and glamourous look for our magazine.
