Research Into Front Cover Designs and Content Pages for my College Magazine.

Here I have decided to look at Existing products. Above is a contents page from the Magazine; 'First Car'. The Content page is a single page, it has the title 'Contents' in the top left hand side of the page it is written in a font that is continued throughout the whole content page for the subheading. Below the title there is five pictures of different articles from the magazine. Four of the pictures are equal in size and the other is much bigger as it is the main feature of the magazine and it is also the same story as on the front cover. On each picture there is a number, which is the page respectfully the article or feature is on and under the picture there is a little subheading and a little summary of the article.
Then alone the right side there is a long white rectangle and it has different heading in it of different topics in the magazine and these heading are in different coloured boxes, and below them are the different page numbers and articles to go with each particular topic.
The in the bottom right corner there us a section called 'Meet The Team' and it has 4 little pictures and the names of the editors and writers of the magazine. The main colour scheme for the content page is black and white as they complimentary colours.



The above image is of the front cover of the magazine 'First Car' the title of the magazine is located in the top left hand corner of the page, the lettering is white which stands out off the darkness of the background of the picture.
The picture is of the main features of the magazine an interview with the cast of a popular TV show called 'The Inbetweeners' they are the main focus point of the magazine. The main feature title 'The Inbetweeners Interview inside' is coloured in two different colour ways, the words "The" "interview inside" are in black and white which matches the logo of the magazine in the top left hand corner, the word "Inbetweener" is written in black and yellow to make that word stand out the most as it is the name of the TV programme. The black and yellow matches the other written of the features on the front cover.

Along the bottom of the magazine is three pictures of other features in the magazine and under the photographs is the title of the feature and a little bit about it.

Across the top of the page there is a white bar with black writing with other features in the magazine on, this is effective and really stands out it almost frames the top of the page.
