Colour scheme - With having changes with the colours due to the changes with my front cover, I have decided to go with the colour scheme red, black and white throughout the magazine as I think the colours will contrast well together and will be suitable for both genders. I have made sure that the colours are equally balanced out so they are not over powering one another. I have split the background colour into two using black and red. Most of my text on the right hand side will be in white so it stands out from the black background and on the left, my text will be black so it stands out from the red background.
Images - I have decided to put more images inside the contents page as I only had one large image on my front cover. The images will be used to show my reader images of the people who will be featuring in this magazine issue. I have took three original images of my friends Anya, Hannah, and Ayeisha, to pose as rock artists by dressing them up and make them look like typical rock girls. This is so I can use in my magazine and say that they are posters that readers can keep. This acts as a freebie which will get my audience more tempted to buy the magazine as they may be a fan of the people who are on the posters and would like to keep the image so they could use to hang up on the bedroom wall. One of the main images you will see is a picture of one of my friends Claire, on the bottom right of my contents page. I have took an image of her using the guitar as a prop, so she looks more musical. I will edit the contrast of the image so that the reader can see her bright red hair more (which matches with the colour scheme) I have also used arrow shapes within the contents page to point out several stories featured in my magazine. This will be to alert my audience that this is a 'must read' story and think they will be most interested in amongst the other stories.
Layout and Text - Like I said before, I have split the back ground colour in two so that one side can have the actual page contents where I have put numbers on and the story next to them and on the other side I have put extras which include images of prizes that can be won in the magazine and posters. I may add a guest contributor so there isn't a lot of spare space which may make my contents page looks bare and boring. On the bottom right hand corner, there will be an 'Every Week' contents, where it will show what is in every issue of the magazine, which may make the audience want buy my magazine as they may enjoy reading the features that appear in every issue of my magazine. The text I will use will be very big and very bold so that my readers can read it easily. Most of my text will be short, simple sentences so that my audience can read it and not get bored of it as they would be reading longer sentences in the stories that feature in my magazine. I will also have a mast heading on the top of the page in a large, bold font so that it is recognisable to my audience. it will also include the date of this issues so that my audience can keep track and check that they have the right addition.
Overall I think that my contents page will meet the needs of my audience as they will be able to locate the pages easily and will be able to recognise music artist that they like due from the images I have used.
