The second page of my contents will have the same format as the first with the same use of fonts, backgrounds and layout. I plan to split this page into three sections of text, image and further text. The reason for placing the image at the bottom left would be to create a diagonal line across both the images which would physically link the two pages together. In both pages I will use a mixture of blues and blacks for the text as I believe it will make it stand out more. I havn't yet decided on the background for my article.



The first page of my article I have designed to make an impact an stand out. The title "On the road" is deliberately enlarged and underlined for emphasis. Similarly I have done the same with the leading paragraph. The image hjas been placed centrally to draw the reader into the page. The quotation will also be in bold to stand out. I also plan to put the brand identity (website address) at the bottom of the page which would act as an advert for the website. The website is a key component to the magazine because it gives additional advertising opportunity along with the ability to reach out to a wider audience through a different medium.


My contents page consists of 4 key areas for the text which will be surrounded by a central image of my feature band "On the road" taking a break from rehersal. The contents will be split into three sections- features, regulars and events.

This is my front cover sketch. I have decided to place the central image to the left to leave space for cover lines on the right. My brand and sell lines will be at the top within easy view of the reader. The other other images I have decided to put at an angle to give a more interesting look. I plan to box in my cover lines to seperate it from other text and images. The image itself is representing an article based on a school music competition which is also featured in the contents.
