Contents Page.

The process.
I started my contents page by putting the header and footer bars onto the page. I then added 'Vinyl' and the page number '2' into the left hand corner of the footer bar with 'Subscribe at www.Vinyl.com' in the right hand corner of the footer bar. This could show that the brand is expanding. After that I then added in the boxes for my subsidiary images to sit in and added smaller header bars to separate the content into different sections, this then created a layout for my contents page. Next I added all of my text onto my page leaving a small gap between the number and the corresponding content. Like on my front cover I decided to add in separation lines to give the 'regulars' section two columns. I also added another of these lines beneath the 'reviews' content to add a link to Vinyl's website to show its readers that it is a multi media platform. This section also advertised Spotify and I used their logo on the left of the text.

I decided that I wanted to change the page numbers corresponding to the content to red after seeing this done in Q and NME magazine. I felt that this then made my magazine look better and made it easier to read. I then added in my title and masthead to the top of the page, coming above and below the header bar, I thought that this made the title stand out a lot more.

The Final Product.
I finished my contents page by adding all three of the subsidiary images in with the corresponding page number in a small white box with a red outline in the top, left hand corners. I am extremely pleased with how my contents page turned out and I like how I have included aspects of NME and Q's contents pages and adapted them to fit with my magazine. I am overall extremely pleased with how it turned out and I would not change anything.
