This is the final design for the contents page of my magazine, I am pleased with the way the page looks, its almost exactly how I wanted it to look. I wanted to have a contents page that clearly shows where all the features of the magazine are and to really make it clear for the readers to find their pages. I didn't want to make my contents page to attractive and bold, with adverts everywhere, so I made it quite simple, adding a few pictures to demonstrate where the main stories are. I think its quite a clear and simple contents that will hopefully work well with my magazine overall. I made sure i had a big bold title which stood out making it clear it was the contents page, and I also made sure I had a simple layout that is easy to read and understand.
I'm really pleased with my final design for the magazines front cover, as I personally think it works really well with the overall magazine design. I think the text I used on the cover is clear and easy to read, you know what you are reading from the big bold title in red, and you can clearly see the other stories that the magazine holds inside. I think the magazine looks quite bold and exciting, and would make you want to read it. The photo featured will make you want to read inside and intrigue you as to what the story is actually about. I chose the two colors featured on the front cover as I think they work well together and seem to have a good contrast. Personally I'm really pleased with both my contents and front cover for my magazine. I think they work reasonably well together, and I think they would have a good chance of a sell. In the future if I have the chance to design another magazine cover I will now have a very good idea as to how to go about it, and what subjects to include. I think if I were to do this again I would probably spend a little more time on the contents page and try and make it have some more comparisons to my front page. Other than this I'm pleased with the final result and will look forward to designing more magazine covers in the future.
