Mock Version Of Content Page


This is the draft for my content page. I wanted to make it look professional overall thats why i put a lot of thought into it. I started at the top and as i have said before there is a logo on every page therefore i kept this theme and stuck it at the top left corner; i put this there so its out the way but the audience still look at it. I put the title of the page next to it which stands out in white; i did this because in every magazine the title is the first thing the audience looks at therefore i learnt from the skills of the professional and decided to do what they do. I put it in white as well which was on a black background to give it the most effective eye catching effective while it still looks professional. I put the date of the magazine realize at the top; this is for the collectors of the magazine as this magazine would be only realize once a month; therefore i'm looking out for every single sort of target seller we can. I put the date in the top right corner out the way but still in a place the audience look; i did this because stereotypically a date goes in a corner and it is normally right therefore i followed the crowd and putting it in that corner avoids confusion with the audience if they wonder why the date is in a invalid place. I made the top titles in a box to separate it from the other key information; also how it is at the top it shows its relevance of being read first and showing its importance just by it being separate from the other date therefore making it more effective. The content boxes on the left of the content page was a choice which was made by my good mate 'Jordan Tibbles'; as i was round his and designing it he thought of this idea and when i did it i believed it was very effective and looks professional. I made the titles over the boxes which held the information separate again i did this for the reason i have already said above to allow the audience more understanding therefore pointing out what that section is about before they get confused etc. I wanted the content to not be boring at all therefore i decided to enter some pictures which i planned on taking; i had the DJ picture at the top due to the fact it in my view is more effective to the modern age. As we know there is music nowadays upcoming which have dance music over rap and it is gets very big in the UK therefore i added this picture to show the upcoming hip-hop culture. I needed another picture in this to make it be even more effective but i wanted a picture which is the current/old hip-hop theme therefore i got my make Zak to dress up hip-hop style/r&b and took a picture of him; i love this picture as the pose he has done makes him look really cool this is what being famous is all about therefore giving it that professional feel even further. I choice black writting for all the main text as it is simple and easy to read; also i did not want too much colour on the content therefore keeping it simple for the information was the best choice in my view. I love how i made some of the more important bits in the text/numbers bigger then the less important therefore making the audience read them bits first again making sure they do not get confused with what they are reading. The logo colour is yellow so it stands out and catches the audience eye; looking back now i did not like the colour as it i thought it was too bright and too full on; this is what i thought about all the yellow writting and i decided i was going to change it for the final. Overall i'm very happy with what i created for my draft and in my view with a few upgrades i think it could be a perfect content. :)
