FInal contents page

This is my completeted contents page which I experimented with to get to my final outcome. I wanted to change the layout because I wasn't fully happy with my first design, and neither were peers who I asked. One thing I did purposely to suit the genre was keeping the layout neat and simple, this is something I learned that was constantly done in my format research. This is something I wanted to do in my magazine to make sure I had the branding correct. I made sure that I kept the colours the same as the front page because it would add consistency. 

I think that this design is fun but structured. The pictures organise the page but lead you down the page through the content of the writing. The reason I put the small flashers in were to draw attention to some of the interesting stories, which would engage the reader further. I feel that the grey subtitles really compliment the layout and mean that the page is split successfully, complimenting the layout of the magazine. In addition to this the reason I changed the masthead to horizontal rather than vertical was because I wanted to go with the norms of a typical convention of an R&B magazine, after looking back at my format research it became clear that the masthead would usually be horizontal.
