My draft contents page

After editing the picture to my liking I wanted to test out all the fonts and colours to see which ones would look the best. In the end I chose the font "plane crash" to be my title as I think it stands out a lot more than all the rest of the text on the page, I wanted this and the picture to be the first thing anyone looks at. I downloaded this font from a website called 'DaFont'.

For the page references, I wanted to go with a smaller and different font so it wouldn't attract immediate eye contact as I want my picture and title to do that. I went with the font "Silom" for this as I believe it has an indie/urban look to it which would suit my magazine. I also chose this as it was the most popular font with the teens I asked. To do this, I put lots of different fonts onto a page and asked a sample of teenagers from school to rate which one was the best. I did this as my magazine's main target audience is teenagers so I thought it would be best to let them decide which one they would rather see on a magazine based for them.

I wanted the band name at the bottom of the page so everyone reads it last, and so everyone knows who they are. This had to be put somewhere on the page or else people would start to question who they are and why they were there. I didn't want a whole paragraph explaining who they were so I thought their band name would tell everyone that they are a band and that's how they're related to music.

I tried to keep my contents as simple as possible due to the fact that teenagers only like to read the bits that interest them. So having lots of words on a page which is only suppose to show them where the interesting bits in the magazine are would probably just put them off reading the magazine. I chose the colour scheme for the font to be black and blue as I think it suits the whole urban style to the magazine and stands out well on the black and white background. I chose two colours as one colour can get repetitive and boring to look at, so I thought I'd mix it up with two colours that stand out.
