Music Magazine: Contents Page Implementation

Music Magazine: Contents Page Titles

I have created my contents page front with my front cover font in mind. I used InDesign again and used similar fonts to my front cover. I used a selection of fonts which all had a similar look: the thick font with a more modern look to compliment my front page title.

I chose to use the same font which I used on the front cover. I decided to use the same colour scheme which I had used on the front cover. I experimented with the red, black and white. I liked the look of the red but this, along with my title, used too much red. 

I decided to use a thick white outline, instead of the red which had been previously used, for my contents page title. Just for design purposes, placed a black fill behind the font to see what the title would look like. I filled the inner font in black to make it appear to be just a white outline as I had previously done with the front page title.  

 I decided on the a black font with a thick white line. When this is placed on my black background of the page, this will appear very striking. 

Music Magazine: Front Page Draft

I decided to use the chosen image as I feel it corresponded to my research well and by featuring the guitar and the microphone ring in colour on a black and white image allows the music element to stand out. I was adamant that I wanted there to be this feature on the front page instead of a 'posed' model which did not necessarily reflect the music element of the magazine. I decided to use a red, black and white colour scheme in my front page which I will continue to use on my contents page and double page spread. I used the same font throughout the page and stuck to only two fonts, not including the title. I will continue to use these fonts throughout the music magazine.  I like the overall look of the page, however, I need to edit the page so that there are no 'orphans', where single words are alone, to ensure good design is achieved.
