Conclusion of contents pages

All three contents pages are different and stand out for different reasons, I will use this when creating mine as I want it to be unique. Also the masthead ‘contents’ as with the Katie Perry and Kayne West one stands out and is clear to read, I intend to use this on mine so it looks professional and is obvious what page it is. This is because the top of the pops contents page doesn’t have ‘contents’ on it so it becomes confusing whether it is just another page or is a contents page, it is not a typical contents page as it uses several images and has a loud colour scheme, I will not use this as it looks messy and will not fit the genre of rock. However the other two contents pages look neat and tidy and I intend to use this idea, also they both use only one main image which gives it more meaning and the model suits the genre that the magazine is for, I will use this idea as I can portray the rock genre easier through one main image and a dark colour scheme rather than an over the top busy contents page. The contents of the magazine will be placed typically to the right hand side of the page as this looks professional and tidy and also allows the main image to dominate the page, also here I will use a simple font so that it is easy to read but also fits the genre, colour scheme and looks professional.

Conclusion of double page spreads

All of the examples of double page spreads that I have analysed have a main image on the left hand page, I think this is a good idea as it makes the article more entertaining and entices the audience to the article. Therefore I will use this idea of having a main image of the rock artist covering a full page on the left of the double page spread. This will give me a chance to show off the genre and create a bait to the audience to read about the person, I will use an image with a direct mode of address as this makes it personal to the reader. However due to the nature of the magazine being rock I will use a darker image than the examples I have used.  Also I will use a large quotation like the second double page spread I uploaded as I feel this makes the page more entertaining and also can reflect a main part of the article. Again, I will use a dark colour scheme to allow the genre of rock to show, this will be through the text, image and masthead. I will also include all the extra information that the double page spread needs, for example the page number, website address, and logo of the magazine.
