Finished contents page

I'm content with the progress I have made, I was influenced by my friends constructive criticism and chose a slightly more dramatic tone of red as well as changing the colour of the release date and making the word 'contents' grey just to add more variety. I attempted to add other colours but they just clashed and took away from the classic, iconic look. Plus the contents pages I have studied belonging to NME and Q generally conform to this colour scheme, therefore it must be effective. I added an extra sub heading (incorporating the literary technique of rhetorical questions to compel the reader to pursue the article) so that I could put the text it replaced on the predominant image. I tried to do this with the lower images however it just looked overcrowded. All the layers depicting each individual aspect of the page I created are displayed above.

The very top image is my final product, as you can see much more space is filled which makes it look more professional.I increased the size of the images as well as adding several cover lines, making it look as though the magazine contains more interesting content.
