Construction - First Draft of Contents Page

Also using Serif PagePlusX6 I created the first draft of my contents page. As a first draft I like the colour schemes used and the layout of the subheadings and masthead. What I don't like about this page is the feature photo and caption and the layout of the bottom half, for example the editors note and the text. I think it looks quite messy. In future drafts I am definitely going to use a different photo, perhaps a lighter one so I can use plain black text without the white text box surrounding it. I also need to consider what text I am going to put in the "free inside box" and what part of the interview I am going to put in below the feature photo.

Audience Feedback - I think that the house style is good but it doesn't really match with the front cover house style and so i think adding burgundy to the front cover or adding more blue to the contents would create a more noticeable theme. I don't really think the feature photo used really reflects the fact that this is a music magazine and so a different image with a musical element would help with this. I really like the clear titles down the right hand side though as it make's it accessible for the reader and also looks quite professional.
