Research and Planning: Contents page from 20/01/2015

Here is the beginning of my contents page for my music magazine which is produced on Photoshop.

Research and Planning: Inspirations for my contents page

Here is the magazine contents page where I got my inspirations for my contents page for my music magazine.

I ideas for my magazine from this magazine. The ideas I have got was the masthead, how the contents have been included and the UK's No.1 music magazine. I thought that these ideas would fit for my music magazine contents page.

From the masthead on this contents page, it includes the name of the magazine and this week because the magazine is released weekly whereas my magazine is real eased every month there for on my contents page I am going to put "This Month".

On the NME contents page they include information about the main image on the contents page. This makes it clear to the reader that this is what the magazine is focused on. I am going to use this idea for my contents page when I come to produce it.  

Research and Planning: Ideas to include on my contents page

I have included four subtitles on my contents page. They are News, Interviews, Featured and Tours. This is so I can include different stories on my magazine. I would include 4 stories in News and in Featured. I would include 3 stories in the Interviews and Tours sections.

The ideas that I had for my news was the latest and controversial news about the artists that are associated with the music genre of my choice. For example Eminem saying that he is a "Rap God" and also saying that one of the female artists are pregnant. For the Featured section I am going to included the artists that I have mentioned on my front cover. The artists would included Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z etc. In the Interviews section I will also include the artists that are on the front cover as they are being interviewed by the magazine. Then Finally there is the Tours section of my contents page. I will include the artists that I have included on my cover in to this section as well, for the artists who are touring in 2015.


When I include my contents, I need to add a sentence about the story itself underneath the contents so that the reader has an understanding about the story itself.
