Initial Contents Page Creation

By looking at the design of my magazine's front cover, I have been able to create a basic layout and image for my contents page. I used the same background and similar typography to continue the corporate image I have created for my magazine. By using inspiration from existing music magazines such as NME and Q, I have been able to create my own style of contents page, minus the images, to give information to readers about what they can find in the issue at the time. Below is a screen shot of the progression of the unfinished contents page as it stands. I am pleased with the image of it so far, as I have used a gradient coloured background to create a unique appearance and I've also used angled text to create a more interesting layout.
