Contents Page Flat Plan

Rationale

Colour Usage: For colour, I will be using Autumn colours because my magazine is going to be based around music events in Autumn so I want the Autumn theme to come through by using earthy colours.

Image Usage: I will be using one image, just like the front cover, because it will show the audience what the magazine is about but I want them to be more focused on the text next to the image because that is where the different articles will be.  I want to use one image because I want to keep the magazine simple because it is regional and I think it will be more effective that way.

Text Usage: For the text, I want there to be more text on the contents page than there is on the front cover because the contents page should have enough information on it to direct the reader to the different stories.

Layout and Font: For the layout and font, I want the text to be on the left side and the image on the right side.  I want this so the reader can clearly see the text and so it isn't confusing for them to find the articles.  For the font, I want to have the mast head the same as the front cover but for the actual text, I want to have it so the audience can clearly see it but I don't want it too big because I won't be able to fit all of the text on the contents page.
