Here you can see that I have organised my contents in to one column, using graphics around the headlines making it stand out so that it is easier for the readers to find what it is they will be reading about.

I have used the colours red, Yellow and Black as they are bold, vibrant and they are link with the colours on the front cover.

Also the small black bar at the top will include the date, and issue also it will read “MONSTER - CONTENTS”.

I have used the magazine kerrang! To help me with these designs.I have found it easy to use quark as it is simple however sometimes to simple as you cannot get shapes or things such as that. Other than this I really like using this soft wear.

As you can see from this print screen I have added the title “CONTENTS”.

Here I have added the main picture for my contents which is giving an edgy look and a cool atmosphere to the magazine. I looked at using different pictures but out of them all this was the best. I have tried to get the colour scheme to fit in with the colour that is displayed on the picture and it has worked out very well.

I have added a advertisement “Get free Apps…” which are used in many kerrang! Magazines. So I thought it would be a good idea to add my own, to making more eye catching for my target audience.

Again I have used more advertisement in the bottom right to allow the readers to become more involved with the magazine itself.

Also I have added the Cover date and the issue number in the black bar stretching across the top I have added this as it makes it seem more professional and I feel it looks more like a magazine.

I have chosen not to change anything about the colour scheme of the contents as I know that the colours fit perfectly with the cover.

In this shot I have decided to change the colour of the advertisement (bottom right) to make it stand out more as the yellow and the dark blue looked a little silly and the colours clashed. I want it to attract the attention of the reader so I have made it a lighter blue highlighting the heart red and this colour connotes love and passion.

And again to make the magazine look more professional I have chosen to add in my own Editors letter which is very bright and stands out a lot.

Here I have chosen to include to smaller pictures toward the bottom of the magazine to add more quality in the magazine, one them is of the unsigned artists who is holding a guitar, and the other is in black and white which is giving out a lot of attitude and edginess to the magazine.

I am concerned however about the large white gap in the middle there so I may in clue some more photographs liking with the magazine.

I have also changed the colour of the editor’s letter as in the other print screen it was clashing in with the writing in the black box at the bottom I also have looked on some kerrang magazines and they have used a simple black font for the letter so that it is easier for the fan to read.

In this print screen I have decided I will add more photographs. This is again another black and white photograph which is going to be the album cover of Andy Brown (Young man in the main image) it is in black an white adding to that roughness. Also the picture at the bottom is of the drummer Luke from the unsigned band Merger, who are the band that were interviewed for the DPS.

I think that by adding more photos this will allow the reader to take a look at who/what it is they will be reading about.

At fist I wasn’t sure how to get a picture on but when I found out I found it really easy to work and to crop and fixe the pictures to how I wanted them.

The final print screen has been taken to show I have added numbers to my photographs so that when the reader comes to that number the picture will give them hints to what the article, review etc. is about which will make them more interested in reading it depending on the picture.

Everything here seems to fit in very well I think and I find the colour scheme links in well with the main image.

Although I felt proud of my contents page I handed in my work and I was given some feed back which allowed me to understand that it didn’t look very realistic or professional. So I have made many changes to try my best to create a better and more attractive magazine contents page.Also I was told some of the picture where more aimed towards an indie magazine so I have taken some other pictures which have made a big difference. I also used to many pictures of the same person being the model on my front cover so I have decided to take him out and replace him with another picture which I think links with the rock attitude.

I have happily decided that I would keep the writing of my contents page the same and I would also leave to top bar with the date, issue and master head. Only because i like the layout and I think that this will work well as it has a very hard and rough look.

This picture here I have chosen of Bethany Johnson, is quite friendly and inviting but also has that edgy rough look about it as she is sitting on a bricked floor. I have chosen it for my content as it invited the reader but it also continues to use my chosen mood.

Again I have made the decision to keep this black and white picture only because his facial expression really gives the magazine rough look also his attitude show that he doesn’t really care and the face he has head phones in also creates that rock atmosphere.

I feel I have made a great difference already by changing it around and trying out new things. The more time I have spent using Quark the more I feel I can handle and work with it.

Here is the complete Contents page as you can see I have cut out the editors letter as it let me down because it wasn’t very professional. I decided to create a subscribe instead which is again also something that is used in the rock magazine Kerrang!I have also cropped my own magazine in as well to make it look more professional.

I have also used a close up image of David McGovern (from the band Merger) to show that a variety of shots have been used. In these pictures I have also put the page number, so if fans want to check out who this weeks celebrity-look-a- like is they can go straight to that page. Also if they want to know about merger they don’t have to flick though to find the right page.
