Final contents design

For my final draft of the contents page, i didnt change my design majorly. once again i kept the colour scheme of black and white and the same layout, however i decided to use the banner at the top to repeatedly say 'Contents Page'. i did this as i thought that it would resemble as police 'DO NOT CROSS' banner, something that would suit my genre of music, as it represents being rebellious and breaking rules.

1st and 2nd draft of contents page

When i first started development on my contents page, i decided that this was going to be my chosen image for the cover, i decided this as it was one of the members of the band being shown in the double page spread, suited the theme of Indie rock and gave me a good outline to work my text around. my first draft to the left allowed me to start development on the text and colour scheme. i decided that for the contents page i was going for the black and white look, as it not only goes with my front cover colour scheme, but it also sets itself apart so that it clearly shows it links with the rest of the magazine.
in my second draft to the right, i have continued with the black and white colour scheme and a similar layout, however i didn't like the Contents page bar at the top left. i felt as though not only did it look slightly out of place, but it left huge gaps in the background. this gave me the idea to cover almost all of the space above the models head with a banner.
