Below is my second draft of my contents page. I have improved on my targets and changed important things so my contents page fits and works better with the rest of my magazine. By editing parts of my contents page I’m seeing more improvement each time and the feedback I’m given I take into consideration to change things and make sure everything works well to create a good Mise En Scene.
Whats new?
I really like how my contents page has turned out, I feel its unique and different to a lot of magazine contents pages however I also feel its easy to read and tells my audience what they need to know. Below are things I added to include different features and certain things I had forgotten in my first draft:
- First I moved the title of ‘contents’ from in a white box to the left of my page. I changed the font to make it look more modern and gave it a blue outline.
- I then added a stand first in the top right corner to briefly talk about who the photo is in the background of the contents page and what they are going to be talking about further on in the magazine.
- I changed the numbers of each article to have an outline of red instead of blue so it matches the red on my front cover and shows the link they have.
- I also changed the font of what each page is about to match the title of the contents page and added a blue border around key parts of each page. I also altered some wording so it made more sense and was slightly shorter.
- I added a page number at the bottom right as I had previously forgotten to do this in my first draft.
Whats next?
Next I plan on adding minor things to my contents page to make final touches. I feel my contents page is conventional and my making these last changes I will be able to target the audience I want. Below are little things I would like to add onto my contents page:
- Change the page number so it doesn’t have the blue border around it as I feel it stands out to much.
- Play with the strike colours to see if there is an alternative.
- Could make the numbers bigger than the box.
- Billie Eilish spelt wrong so change.
- Can add some copy in to the shorter coverlines so that there is not so much of a white empty band on some of them.
