This is my contents page the image is the main focus however the article names and pages are right next to it in bold and reason I decided to do my contents page like that is because after looking at XXL, Rolling Stone and Vibe I can see that there is a lot of meaning behind the images used on the front cover I know what the conventions are of a contents page. There is bold headings, page numbers and most magazines have unique layouts so my layout isn't going to be standard.

My double page spread is a question and answer I looked at examples and found that the successful magazines all had their double page spreads with a studio taken photo that took up at least a third of the page or a whole page. I understood what the conventions are and decided to have the artist either casually leaning on a wall or sitting on the floor looking away from the camera. I believe those kinds of shots are the most effective.

I have decided a black, red and white colour scheme because in my survey I listed three colour schemes that would appeal to a teenager which is my target audience and this one was the most popular one. I have looked at successful magazines like XXL and Vibe that showed my the conventions there are some similarities but more differences because I have put in mostly my own ideas.

My ideas for my front cover, contents page, double page spread and my shot list for my magazine we need four images at the least
