Linking my contents page...

MY CONTENTS PAGE: 

• This is my contents page and I have used Indie music magazines such as NME to influence my contents page. 

NME CONTENTS PAGES: 

• These two contents pages are the contents pages that I used as inspiration for my own. The reason as to why I used these contents pages as inspiration is because they are both very bold and eye catching. For example, the main image is attractive and pulls the reader in. This is because the main image hasn't been posed for. Therefore, an image that hasn't been posed for is more interesting and makes the audience wonder what the image is about. Also, the use of black is bold which catches the audience/readers attention. The use of limited colours allows the image to stand out. Linking this to my contents page, I have used one main image which is of The 1975 performing live. This links to the contents pages above as they have not used a posed image but an image of the Arctic Monkeys performing live. I have also included a colour scheme of black, burgundy, white and a hint of yellow which are bold colours that attracts a reader. I have also included my masthead and main cover lines which link to the contents pages above. I was also told to maybe add some social media images on my contents page, but the reason as to why I didn't do this is because when I was looking at Indie contents pages, especially NME, they do not really have social media images, and so for this reason I decided not to add those images. For these reasons, I think that my contents page links to the contents pages above as I have used similar conventions.
