Contents page process and final design

This is the first step of producing my contents page, I downloaded all of the fonts to my computer and inserted most of the text, except the headlines to go with the page numbers, but at this stage I haven't yet thought of all of the headlines. I still need to add a background, images and headlines for it to be completed. 

In this second draft, I have changed the layout and added a few images because it should be a 50:50 ratio of images to text. However, I'm not too sure if I actually like this layout compared to the first one. My only problem is, I don't think I have enough pictures of different people to full up the space on both designs. I'm going to play around with the design's to produce my final contents page.

For my 3rd draft, I wanted to make it completely different to the 2nd one because I didn't like how boring it looked, so by putting loads of little images at at the bottom of the contents page which also ties in with the incentives from the magazine, I thought it would look a bit more attractive. I also wanted to stick to the 50:50 ratio of photos to text, which I think this design follows quite well. My target audience is attracted by colours and images, which I think my contents page has done very well. As the images at the bottom all have different costumes, I think it makes the contents page look more intriguing and makes the reader want to know more about what is inside the magazine as a whole. 

This is my final design for my contents page. I am happy with the progress made and how the final design has turned out! I think the house style of the magazine has been stuck to, by looking at the front cover and contents page, and the bright colours make it look very attractive. Overall, there is a mixture of images and text which is a key point for the ages that will be reading this magazine, because younger people don't just read, they look for different images. All of the text is music related and the listed contents is very much music and celebrity orientated, which is the aim for this music magazine Pop it. All of the images at the bottom of the page are of the upcoming star Derrie Oliver, because this magazine is focused on her, and so is the double page spread.
