Design 1:
This design may be good for my magazine as it is easy to read and find the topics that I would include. The contents page also is colourful compared to the mock ups of the front covers I have used. The title of the contents is a similar to the one I have used on my front cover which would demonstrate the same use of colours throughout the magazine and make it look professional. I have included logos of the 4 main social media pages as my magazine would have accounts on each in order to promote the magazine to its target audience which are teenagers and youth adults. This would be effective as people that age use these social medias on a day to day basis. On the right hand size I have used a picture of an artist who will have a topic in the magazine in order to interest the audience to read the article. On the picture I have included a page number of which the article about her would be. This will allow the readers to find it quicker and convince them to read it. On the other hand, the same font isn't used throughout which would be a problem and make the whole contents page looks unprofessional. The effect from this would cause a confusion from the readers. Also the number on the main image on the page looks like its there for no reason and makes it look incompetent. This contents page would suit my genre as it is easy to read and also has an image that would match it as grime as it is considered that it started off in the blocks and neighborhoods and that is where the photo shoot for the main picture on the contents page took place. Also the colour of the title could be considered to be the colour of the blood as many artists come from places where there is a lot of crime.
Design 2:
This design of my contents page could be considered good as it is incredibly easy to read as the font and the placement of the text is simple. The page also uses two different colours of text which makes it easy to understand. The magazine title is included in the page with the original colour that was used on the front page so it shows continuity throughout the magazine. The contents page also is laid out simply so people can read the topics easier with me being able to use a bigger font so its easier to read for people with eyesight problems. I have used two different pictures at the bottom at the page to advertise the artists that I would be talking about in my magazine and would feature on their own double page spreads. Nonetheless, I could make improvements to this contents page if I was willing to use it. Firstly I would add topics to the pictures that are used so people can find the article about the given artists easier instead of guessing or searching for the following article. Also I could make the text smaller then add some extra pictures to make it look more interesting. This contents page would appeal to my target genre as it contains the pictures of the grime artists and also would contain specific topics to get an inside to grime.
Design 3:
The following design could be good as my final piece as I like how its laid out as it is different compared to other magazines. Because of this my target audience might be interested to look at it and read it, I have put the title of the magazine in the top left hand corner so if anyone comes across the contests page, they will know what magazine it comes from. I have also used the same colour for the title as i have used for the title on the front cover. For the 'contents' I have used the colour black to make it stand out on the white background and also for it to contract the burgundy colour of the title of the magazine. I have positioned the page number on the left hand size of the page and then planned to write the specific topics I will use in my magazine next to them. On the right hand size, I have used pictures of social media logos which I will advertise my magazine on. I have also included a snap code of the magazines channel so it connects in second to its snapchat which will be quicker for the readers to gain access to it. I have used two different pictures of artists on my page as it may interest readers more as they see two topics instead of one which will allow them to choose whatever one they want to read about. However, I would improve the magazine by editing out the background of the girl and making it white so I can blend it i n with the white background of the page. Also I would re-position the social media logos to make them look more in order and professional on the page. This contents page would appeal to my genre as it is based to interest young people which are normally the listeners of grime therefore whatever appeals to them would appeal to my genre.
