The magazine contents page I have created has a plain black background to it which makes is plain and simple, whereas at the bottom Vibes magazines contents has a gradient as its background.Both magazine contents pages have an artists picture on the right hand side of the magazine. The top magazine has a medium shot whereas Vibes have a medium long shot of the artist.Both of the magazines have the features put in the left hand side. I think that my magazine contents page is very effective because it is similar to the Vibes contents..The magazine which I created has the masthead contents put in on the top. That is something Vibes contents doesn’t have. The masthead stands out and is really clear, its effective because it catches the readers eye and straight away lets the reader know what this page is about.
