CONTENTS PAGE DEVELOPMENT
To inspire the look of my contents page I looked at Q and Rolling Stone because I liked the simplistic style as I think it makes the magazine look more serious about the music and content it features.

I decided to soften the black and
reds as I like the
vintage/newspaper print style it gives
the magazine.

I put my columns in a box with a border
with a cream coloured
background to flow with the newspaper
print style, I used double lines to
separate the different features to add to the simplicity. I used yellow text on
the ‘Reading & Leeds’ heading as it goes with my colour
scheme and these are the colours associated with
reading festival – I did this to broaden my target audience
as when readers see this and make the
link to R&L festival goers will be more encouraged to read
my magazine.
For my columns section I took inspiration from Q magazine in the way the columns are separated and inspiration from
NME with the headings used. I took inspiration from aspects of similar
magazines to my own to help make my magazine look more professional,
buyable and ‘real’.

I gave the contents
page a creamy
background to add to
the newspaper print style.
I brought down the
exposure of the photo
on the contents
page to go with the vintage style. I
made the image a bit larger and brought it behind the columns to make the page look
more flowing and
I gave it a black
border to make it
stand out and go with
the

I added the editor’s note to fill the empty
looking space in the right bottom
corner and to make the page
look more professional.
