Contents Page

Heres the one of the contents pages that I thought I was going to use then I finally done another photoshoot and produced some morephotos by editing them and cropping them on photoshop. I changed this one because I thought the image wasnt good enough, I also thought that it looked to similar to jthe front cover, because its the same person same clothes etc. So I changed it by taking some more photos...

So Here is the final contents page I have produced,  I got my inspiration for making this contents page from Vibe, In the vibe contents pages they also have the letter V in the background and I thought I would do the same by using the 'I' for INTERCEPT, also I blurred the 'I' into the background so it would more interesting and be different to the Vibe because the edges of the V are sharp rather than blurred and I think they both work. I chose to do the font simliar to the Vibe magazine because I dont want the magazine to be completely made up of Sans Serif text, so I chose to use Serif text aswell. Just to put a bit of mixture in the types of fonts. 

I also chose the add the long box at the bottom like on the front cover, to give a sense of continuity, obviously it wouldnt have the same in each box, each box would contain INTERCEPT, and some information about the magazine, date, email etc.   

The contents title is sort of the same I have just chosen to put the 'CO' 'NTEN' 'TS' out of line, so it would be similar to the Vibe magazines title, but still different. I chose to do something a little different to my photos I was taking by adding in some props and not just having someone looking at the camera with a straight face! I thought that umbrellas are quite intersting, or hats so I chose to add some of them in and then chose what I wanted for the final contents, main Image.

Contents Page

I started off by getting the image i wanted for the contents page the  cutting it out, editing it and then finally blurring the edges. I then chose the font i wanted on Dafont, chose the size and how it was going to be positioned.

I then positioned where i wanted the photo, also the contents page title, I chose to put the title on the ride side of the page at the top because basically thats where Vibe puts there contents and I chose to do the same as them. Also then adding the same strip of colour at the bottom like on the front cover but a different colour. Though i couldnt decide what i wanted in the long box at the bottom.

I then decided to add the first letter of the name of the magazine, which was I which I imitated from the vibe magazine. Also adding the text and lettering that i wanted in the long box at the bottom.

I finally then added the text I chose to put the text on the right side of the page because basically thats where the Vibe magazine had put it so I chose to do the same. , changed the angle of I in the background. But i might make some adjustments, like the picture or possibly adding a border. 

Contents Page Research

Here are two vibe contents pages, although they dont contain loads like the NME of Q magazine, they give out the correct information and by doing this they dont need to have everythimg crammed on one page.

I love how the title has been done, its different to the other contents pages, so i think i might steel this idea and change it slightly.

I think the pictures they use for each contents page are great photos and dont need to have anything else on them. I think I'm going to design my contents page like this!

Here are two simpilar contents pages,

Here are two similar contents pauges, one is Kerrang! and the other one is NME, there both quite crammed and contain loads  of pictures and information. I dont think they look as professional as the vibe contents page. They have images from different places and gigs, whereas the vibe pictures seem to be in a studio. I do like how the wiriting is layed out and the different fonts and sizes of text.

Heres a Q contents page it doesnt have has much on it like NME and Kerrang and the images are taken with more thought and the pictures are more professional even though they are not in a studio, there are of higher quality.

Heres a contents page which if found on the internet, which  someone has made themselves, you can obviously tell this is not a proper contents page basically because of the image, it is of a low quality abd you can see the pixels, also the background is still there the checkered floor so it is very poor. It's title ios also very boring and is like a school like magazine contents page.

contents idea?

Ive started researching my contents page and i ihave and idea of the layout for it and here it is. I really like the way vibe lay there contents page out, its pretty much a plain background with a image in a studio, a contents title and   the text which is pretty much what i have shown.
