This is my contents page for the music magazine POP! I have chosen to challenge the stereotypes by sticking to no more than three images on this page. I have still used the housestyle from the front page. On the left, I have positioned the contents of the magazine. I have put it there as I believe it will be the first thing people read.
Next to the contents, I have inserted an editors note. This conforms to the stereotypes of the girly magazine genre. I have kept the elizajane font for this editors note as I believe it looks quite similar to handwriting and makes the message feel more personal. If I was to change anything about the editors note, I would say that I should've changed the "Hey readers!" to "Hey Reader!". This also makes the note feel person if it is addressed to one person.
The white box which I have put around the text makes the article about Jess stand out. The drop shadow gives and effect of it coming off the page. This makes the page look more interesting and I have decided to do the same with the page number.
I collected some personal images of Jess and her friends which I can use in her interview. I decided though to use them on the contents page so I could use the posed ones for the interview article. This relaxes the reader and makes them feel as if they could know Jess personally.
I also took some photos of Ruth to use as another article on this page. The article relates to her being the only female in the band, and therefore she will give her female opinions.
I have challenged the convetions of girly magazines by not including anything too exciting about "hot lads". Although I have mentioned it in the contents.
