MOCK UP OF DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

I decided to arrange my text in a different way and add colour to the font. I used the font 'Arial' and 'Arial Narrow' because I want to keep a sans serif theme as it looks more professional and matches the theme of my magazine. I carried on the colour of the teal blue and intend to carry the orange through as well, in order to make the theme consistent.


DRAFT OF MY CONTENTS PAGE

This is a draft of my contents page, which provides the idea of what stlye and theme I want. It's quite clean cut, with black, blue and orange font - which are the colours carried on from the front cover. I have listed all the features inside the magazine by using pictures of what would be on the feature, and I have made my main feature, my double page spread's, image the largest and in the centre, and I have used an image from the same shoot to provide fluency. I have labelled the images of the 'main features' with page numbers.
I do not want to include an editors letter in my magazine, as although this is conventional of other magazines, it does not appear as often in music magazines.
I have included a variety of fonts however my main two being Helvetica Narrow and Georgia, I have used the same fonts so that the magazine looks consistent.
For the style of my contents page, I got a lot of the inspiration from the NME contents page, as I really liked the way their layout was quite neat however still contained a lot of images and information.

IMAGES USED ON MY CONTENTS PAGE:
 
'ENZIA DARKO': 
These are some of the images I took to use on my contents page as another artist who will be featured in my magazine. I took all of the photographs of my friend Emily in various locations because I wanted to do a little section of the contents page dedicated to this feature. In the end I decided to use the 2nd and 3rd picture along from the top row because I think that these depicted her being on 'tour' best. This is featured on the contents page and her name is 'Enzia Darko'.  
 FESTIVAL PICTURES:
Because I wanted to also do a festival feature in my magazine, I used pictures that I had taken from a previous summer festival, as there were no upcoming ones to attend due to the time of year, and used these on my contents page. I used pictures from 'Lounge on The Farm' festival.
