Development of Content Page

This is the mock up for my contents page. I will include infomation about what is on each page, by numbering the titles and giving a short explanation about what the page contains.  

This is the first draft of my content page. I decided to use the background as it caused continuity between all the pages. I chose to use the words ' this all for you (that can't be right?!)' instead of the word 'contence page'. This is because as my target audience is young and this use of modern language is popular with this age group.  I have put a red block of colour down the left hand side of the page. This is because this is a colour which I would like to be associated with my magazine. The title of the magazine is in the top left hand corner of the page. I choose to do this so that the name is 'advertised' and people are aware what magazine it is at all time.

I then decided to add an extra story to the content page as it looked bare. I chose this image and catch line as I thought it was something different and the image works well as it is an image that is associated with 'behind the scenes'. I also added black boxes around the titles 'features' and 'weekly'. This is because it makes them stand out. I chose blocks of colour as from my research i found that they looked effective and attract attention.  

I then changed the size of the background image, this is because where the image ended the black line was very visible. The image now fills in blank areas and make the page look full and exciting. I also added a block of red colour around the Yam tour image. I put it on the slant to make it look funky and adventurous.

I then decided to add an advertisement and intensive for the subscription to the magazine. This is something I found in my pre-questionnaire that I thought some magazines currently lack, as only one of the two I analysed contained them. I believe this is important as it is a way to create repeat business.
