Finished Contents page

Here I present you my finished contents page. I have chosen this color scheme from my previous trial/mock up. I used the same layout as the last contents mock up as I liked the way it looked and found it appropriate for the school theme. I also added an 'Editors message' which I feel added a personal touch over all. I chose the blue boarder because I feel like it'd be relevant for the boys in the Sixth Form and if they just saw all yellow and other pastel colours they'll think I'm being biased on them. Furthermore, I think that it added a more formal touch to the magazine.

I didn't put the color blue as the entire background color as I felt that it would be an eye sore to the readers and it would have made my text not stand out. On the other hand, I kept the school's badge on the same side and the same place to show continuation through the whole magazine. The font of the text 'Content' is also the same again, I've done this for the same reason as the school's badge.
I also added two photos on the top third of the page as I feel that without them, the contents page wouldn't be interesting for my target audience to look at. They images are also relevant to my magazines theme 'Halloween' this is because I have edited the photos to look scary, creepy and terrifying. In addition, I added them as I didn't use halloween themed colours for the text, photo frame or the boarder. This will show the readers that this is a halloween edition.

In my opinion, I kept my magazine formal and clean. I did this due to the fact that target audience are sixteen year olds and over. If they had seen a front cover with a little kid dressed in a pumpkin outfit they wouldn't be interested in that or know that this magazine was relevant or even be about the school.
