Main task - Contents

For my contents page I chose the colour scheme to be black, white, red and yellow; in my opinion i think they're attractive colours. I chose to have about a third of the page to be taken up by one single image of 'The Blackout' lead singer. [At Warped Tour! Again, good times] I altered the colour curves in this picture to make it clearer. I also cropped the image and added a sparkle effect in the top right hand corner to represent lights.

After:

 






I added this image, a title and the issue number and date:

 I then divided up the content into sections to make it easier for the reader to see. I made these stand out by having the text yellow and it's background red. I also added a banner below the image:

For each article in the magazine, I just named what bands were being featured. Doing this will entice the reader to find out more, because if you see a band you like listed, you want to find out what it's about.

To show the reader what guitar they would win, I included 2 images of [my brother's] electric guitar. As a promotional tool I also included a text box about subscribing about to 'PureScream' magazine. Doing this will increase profits and increase regular readers:

To fill the white space in the middle, I have put a picture of 'Dee Stone' [Myself as the model]. This is too show she is also another main feature of the magazine.
The final product:

Positive feedback: good layout, individual sections of the content are well highlighted, consistent colour scheme throughout the page.
Negative feedback: image in the centre could be edited around the edges better, descriptions (grey text) of content isn't clear.
