Changes to my Contents Page

Since receiving my feedback i have redesigned my contents page as i found it did not tie in with the cover, and the three components i created did not look like they were from the same magazine. 

I have created a simple, classic contents page to match the front cover. I have used the same font for the title 'In this issue' as the font for the cover lines on the front cover to make them look like they belong to the same magazine. I have also added the 'State - February' line to the page number at the bottom; i have also done this on my double page spread to tie the three in. 

I've used a different image of Hazel Grace in the contents to add some variation to the photos used, as in a professional photo shoot a few different outfits are used to create different looks.  I've included another image of another artist to show more content of the magazine, and I've included information about bands and artists mentioned on the front. 

I prefer the layout of this to my original contents page as the columns of text are easier to read and more content has been added so the reader can find out extra details about articles and features in the magazine. 

Mr Ford advised making the background white to make it more conventional and professional to suit the theme of my magazine, and by doing so i feel it gives it a more classical look and i prefer it, as the old one didn't look like something you would find on the shelf, and it wasn't unconventional in the right way. 

I chose to keep the title 'In this issue' as most magazines use the word 'contents' or just re-use the magazine's title. I don't think having a catchy title or using a play on words would have benefited my magazine as it would have made it more jokey and not as serious and high-end.
