Contents Page Flat Plan


Inspiration For Contents Page

I got this image of a contents page off Google and I've used aspects of this contents page and my own ideas and incorporated them into my own contents page. The thing that made me pick this particular contents page, is the use of pictures- a main image on the left which is bigger than the 4 other images around it, underneath each image is text explaining what subject the image is to do with, who is featured in the images and what page it appears on. Secondly the text on the right hand side going in a column downwards is a good way to present what the magazine features and also uses the colour scheme of yellow well as the black helps the text stand out. Also the editors letter on the top left of the page is well seen and positioned right so that you read it when you first see the page.

Inspiration for Front Cover



I found this picture of Miley Cyrus on Google and it gave me inspiration for my front cover. Billboard is a current magazine with the same genre as my magazine so I loved the style of the cover shoot and with some changes going to incorporate it into my magazine. As my magazine is more music focused than celebrity focused, I'm going to replace the giant M with a black vinyl record. My own magazine will have the same layout as this front cover
