The contents page follows conventions of other music magazines as it includes a date line and a heading saying 'contents'. I have kept the brand identity running through to the contents page as the mastheads type of font is also on the contents page. I was inspired by NME's contents page to add a play list of the 'best music', and included some artists that i have previously mentioned. I have also included a small competition section that is a regular feature in the magazine. I have an image of a lipstick kiss mark, that has the writing 'music' in it. This will link the front of the cover of the magazine to the contents page, as well as the small image of the artist at the bottom of the page- with lipstick marks on his face.
The image on the left is the main image, as the artist is on the cover and a main article is about him. There is a headline reading 'EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DYLAN'- I highlighted the background of this text by using a paint brush tool on photo shop. By using the word 'exclusive' it makes the reader feel like they are reading something special that not everyone else has access to read. I included a puff saying 'PLUS 2 FREE POSTERS' - a lot of people are enticed to buy the magazine if they see they are getting something extra for free.
The contents all have page numbers which is a convention used in all magazines.
At the bottom of the page i have added information on how to subscribe to the magazine as well as the web address.
My teacher said my biggest challenge would be choosing sophisticated artists to feature in the magazine, so to keep the idea of the sophisticated element i added a 'title' of 'voted most sophisticated pop music magazine of the year'- the text was the same font as the masthead- keeping the brand identity.
