                                                     Contents Page Influence:

My final flat plan compared to my Contents Page is quite different, I can see obvious changes I've made by looking between the two. Such as the largest image on the page in my draft plan isn't there anymore, instead I've re-sized it and moved it to the left side of the page on the bottom corner. The reason I made this change was because using my artist repeatedly (Front Cover, Contents Page, DPS) isn't ideal so instead of making her the largest image on the page which would draw a lot of attention to her I've kept her image in but made it smaller. But I've still included her in the Contents Page to show the reader that this artist has a lot of significance to the magazine as shes on the Front cover as well as having an article/interview page about her. For my other shot I initially planned to take a long shot of the artist sitting on a speaker holding a microphone but instead I chose to change it and make it a mid-shot to see the artist clearer. I made sure to have all my shots of each artist have a direct angle of gaze towards the camera to create effect, and capture the readers attention.

I've kept all the stories/content on  the left of the page  instead of laying it either side of the large image just to make it look more . I got most of my layout influences/ideas from Q Magazine Contents page. I used Q Magazines to influence my layout for my front cover so when I looked at their contents page I also found the overall look of it appealing and I know that the style of it would also appeal to my audience as the contents page is laid out clearly, in sections and has bright colorful pictures which would capture their attention.
