Final Cover, Contents Page and Double-Page Spread

Here are my final front cover, contents page and double-page spread I think that my front cover is a bit too bright as I adjusted the levels of lighting in the photo and I made it a bit too bright. Overall I like the layout of the front cover and the contents page. I like the way there are lines separating the different sections of the contents page because it makes it look professional. I also like the layout of the double page spread and I like how the pink flows throughout the two pages; I edited a pink outline on two of the pictures. On the contents page, I included features such as 'unveil artists behind the mask' I think these types of headings give off an exiting feel, that would make the reader instantly want to reader the article.

There is a 'news' section which includes current information about relevant artists that the reader would be interested to find out about. One of the titles I used on this section was; ''Artists performing in the O2 this year and why you have to be there''. In the 'reviews' section of the contents page I included titles such as ''We take a look at artists' fashion hits and misses''. I think that these types of titles give a laid back type of feel that are not as exiting but they are articles that the reader would want to find out about as they are linked to artists. This section is at the bottom of the page because it may not be as exiting to the reader as the other two sections. I added an editors note to make it proffesional and give it an edge as R&B magazines do not normally include anything from the editor and they are normally quite plain. The double page spread is effective as it includes a lot of pictures for the reader to look at, and from my research I have found that this is what catches the reader's eye a lot of the time.
