Content Page Progress

Originally, I started the construction of my content page by adding the essentials/generic convections of a magazine content page, such as masthead and sub-heading. Firstly I added my masthead of “loving this week” to my content page, this masthead suggests that this page will be all about the popular music related favourites of this week. Implying recently and currently, both features in which my target audience enjoy when it comes to earing news, as they like to be the ones that find things first. I positioned my masthead in the top left third of the page, coming into the top middle third. I decided to position it just over to the left third to imply that it still had importance as it’s overlaying into the middle. However positioned mainly off the middle focus to suggest it is not as important as the real content/information which will be featured in the middle third of the page.

I added both of these features in a top banner so that they stands out more against the background. Also implying importance as they are the only features included in the top banner suggesting they are significant compared to other features.

Then I added my sub-heading, which was the name of my music mazagine. I decided to make the text of this smaller than my masthead with a less dominant colour so that it wasn’t taking the attention off the main heading of the page. However I still I made the text size big enough so that it was easily visible to reader, to imply if they see if often it will become memorable and well known. Also I position this in the middle right third so that it wasn’t taking the attention/spotlight from the other/more significant features.

In addition to this I added a 70% transparent layer over the majority of the glitter background, so that all the features could be seen clearer and bolder over the vibrant background. I done this so the colour of the background didn't interferer with the visibility of the text and other features.

Next I started to add my sub-images which would later be used to frame the information with the most importance. I decided to do this as I think framing the main focus makes it stand out much more. Making it obvious to the reader that this feature is of significance, as everything also is surrounding it but not in the middle along side it. I choose the most appealing and professional images from my original photoshoot with my models, as I think the most appealing/attractive images would intrigue and grab the attention of my target audience by noticing these image and wanting to read on.Then I began to start adding my sell lines and captions below my sub images to provide the reader with extra information on the topic image above, suggesting this will persuade people to read on knowing more on what it will be about.In addition to this I then started to number my main article pages, so that they would be quick and easy to locate within the mazagine. The beginning of this organisation step made my content page look professional and easier to understand when looking at it.

In addition to this, I started to create my table page, with page numbers to each and every features article in the magazine. This step made my content page look much more professional and structured as it included the generic convention of content table. To create my content table I added another transparent box overlay so that the information would be seen bold and clearly over the other coloured features, with no struggle or interference. I decided on having a heading for this table to enforce importance to this feature and separate it from the other less significant features , as it is an significant part of the content page and needs to be seen by the readers.
