This hopefully is the last version of my contents page and as you can see from last time i have chose my main image changed the colour of the subheadings background and added some anchorage 3/4 of the way down the page.

Proof that I manipulated the main image
The main image on this contents page is not what I started out with, here is the proof

my contents page rationale

colour usage, image usage, text and font usage, layout

Colour usage

The main colours I have used on my contents page are red, white and black, which are the colours of my magazine house style because they link in with the target audience of my magazine. i have also used a little bit blue on my contents page and that is just to make something stand out. i have used the colour red for the background colour of the subheadings at the side of the page so that the subheadings stand out because they are wrote in black and white, so they will stand out on a contrasting background. I have also used the colour red for the text in the subscription box at the bottom of the page because yet again the background is black in this part, so therefore a contrasting colour will stand out and thats why I chose red. The other places i have used the colour red is the lines outlining the subscription and editors pick box this is so that you know they are two different boxes and so that it is clear to you. The very last part of this page where i have used the colour red is the information bar at the bottom of the page an this is so that the white writing stands out on the colour red because it is some important information and needs to be recognised. the reasons above explaining why i have used the colour red are just the basic reasons why I have used them, the main reasons why i have used the colour red is that, the colour red represents danger and anger and this might be peoples stereotypically view of people in the music industry who are rock stars because their performances are what some people might think aggressive and thats just the way they perform. the places where I have used the colour white on my contents page is the contents name which is break weekly and i have used the colour white here because it stands out on the background it is on which is red. Other places I have used the colour white on my contents page is for he subheadings that support the main image an I have used white here because the subheadings are actually wrote in black so the black subheadings stand out on the white background. I have also used the colour white for the background of the main image because I edited the main image to remove the background because it looked stupid with the original background it had and white also goes with the colour scheme of the page because white has been used in other places, such as the text in the editors pick box. The main reason why I have used the colour white on my contents page is because the colour white represents purity which could link into the age of the people in the magazine, because my magazine is based on young people in the music industry and the fact that they are young links into the colour white. The places on my contents page where i have used the colour black is the writing for most of the subheadings and for some of the background colour of the page which is at the bottom. The reason why I have used black for my subheadings is that they stand out in that colour upon the background they are on. The main reason why I have used the colour black is that it links in with the genre of my magazine which is indie/rock but mostly towards rock because people might associate the colour black with rock because like I've said before some people might think of rock artists performances as aggressive and to be aggressive you have to have a reason and mainly that reason is bad, which links into the colour black. the last and final colour I have used on my contents page is blue and I have only used blue in one place which is a little box in the right hand bottom side of my contents page which says next week and this box is blue because it is trying to draw the readers attention to it because it is a different colour to everything else an to highlight the importance of what its supporting.

Image usage
I have used 3 images on my content page including the main image. I think my min image for the contents page is appropriate and appealing for the contents page because The person in the main image who is a female is smiling and this represents female as happy people, so that a good ting, and it is also a good thing because you dont want to just open a magazine and find a picture of a misserable person, do you? The image i would say is a close up because its mainly jut a picture of the persons head and a little bit shoulders. The other two images i have used are sub images at the bottom of the page and they are pictures of the magazine front cover itself, in the subscription box and a image of the editor in the editors box. I used the picture of the magazine front cover in the subscription box to support the text because the subscription box is all about subscribing to the magazine and its relevant. I used a picture of the editor in the editorial box because yet again this supports the text and it familiarises the readers with the editor. The shot of this image would be a mediumish shot, its not a long shot because mainly the way you remember someone is by their face not anything else, mainly.

Text and font usage
The text that i have used on this contents page are all of the subheadings, the page title, the quotes, the content inside the subscription box an the editors pick box. The main fonts I have used for the text are simle fonts that I have got from word and they are calibri body and arial. I chose these simple fonts o adress my audience because they dont want to see har to understand fonts. The only special font I have used on this page is the quote that supports the main image and that font is from a website called font space I chose a special font for this part because I wanted the quote to stad out and I think it does.

layout
the layout of my contents page is very similar to my front cover, it is quite a simple layout. down most of the left hand side I have sectioned it off from the rest of the page with a dark red box which is for the subheadings, i have done this because it makes it clear to the reader that this is the main information that you need to know wen you are looking for something inside the magazine an this is clearly and neatly set out for you. I have a bar at the bottom of my page which is split up into two sections, these sections are the subscription box and the editors box, I have put these at the bottom of the page into these two sections because they are extra information that you might want to know, but they are not the most important features of the contents page. my main image is placed on the remaining of the page which is about 3/4 of the right hand side of the page I have done this because I wanted to get it across to the reader that this was the main image, but I didn't want the main image to be too big, just big enough so that it is noticeable to the reader that i is the main one. I think that the layout of my contents page appeals well to the target audience because it is not to complicated and is easy on the eye, because the stereotypical teenager which is my target audience are branded as being lazy and if they are faced with an information packed complicated looking page they will probably not read the page.
