Contents Page Research

Due to having to change my magazine because of issues with the model ive had to change the theme of my magazine and therefore my contents page research has been totally fipped around and is in the opposite order.

I am calling my magazine Vmusic magazine so I quite like the idea of the large V in the background.  

I love the creativity of the layoout in this contents page I think its extremely unique as ive never seen anything set out like this before. The way the model creates a shape that correspondes with the tittle i think makes very flowing and creative look. The fading background is very effective as it makes the page look stylish and crisp. But my favourite part to this page is the tittle I think its really cool and funky how its set out and even tho I won't be basing my own contents page on this page I will greatly consider using the theme of the tittle in one of my pages in my magazine.

 

I really like this contents page too, even though it has a much simplier layout to the page above,  I like the mix of the black and white and in colour pictures espicially as it represents different time zones in music e.g. the image of Johnny Carson was taken in 1967 and the coloured image of Beyonce is a very recent picture as Beyonce is the charts at present. The black and white/colour theme works well in the text aswell, the text in black and white creates a crisp, sharp look which looks good but by adding a little bit of pink brightens the page up and makes it look more fun and interesting to read. I feel the layout of this contents page is better suited to my magazine although the theme of this page still fails to match the genre of music in my magazine.

 

 

  

This contents page is from Q music magazine. The layout is exteremely simular to the page above and is based on the same genre of music that I am using in my magazine. I really like this contents page because it has a simple layout and is clear and easy for the readers to understand.
 
Out of the three contents pages that I have talked this is the one that I would most like my magazines contents page to look like as it looks very proffession but cool and trendy at the same time which is the look that I am going for.
