This was originally going to be my two page spread, however I decided to change it. The reason for this was because my front cover has one main image of a Edward Chua, therefore I thought if the main featured article did not relate directly to the main image on my front cover then it would not portray that of a professional magazine.
Throughout my research I noticed that it was extremely common in magazines produced professionally to all have their main article based around star on the front cover. Therefore I changed this 2 page spread to link in Edward Chua's exclusive interview with his large image on the front cover.
This was one of my first drafts for a contents page but there was a number of things that I thought were missing or could be improved:
- Research has shown me that contents are full of images, having just the one image left the page quite boring and dull.
- I felt that the difference between my covers background colour scheme and this contents did not match together, therefore I cut out the background around the model to allow me to add in a background
- I wanted to maintain the house style of font colour, my original thoughts were because it was a female image the pink would go well however once I reminded myself of my target audience I knew that it had to be neutralised
- One minor detail that I changed for my final piece was that the numbering of pages within magazines is not always continuous (1-2-3) there are many adverts which would disrupt the flow of numbering eg (1-2-5) therefore I included this within my numbering
