Draft 1For my first draft of the contents page, I tried to go for the simplistic look. I followed the same template colours of grey scale as I did with the front cover. I added a huge contents heading in an vertical position on the right hand side and I had changed the opacity/transparency level so that the white almost fades in and makes it look cool. I made the subheadings of each paragraph blue, so that it increases readability and also because there needed to be some colour on the page apart from black and white. the negative aspect about this production is that there is no pictures excluding the background image. I like the background image because the flag represents the hip hop genres country origins and the two people at the front are hi hop artists, although this will be quite difficult to tell, since it is in black and white and you cant see the faces at all. Furthermore, it doesn't have enough contents like a typical contents page would.
Draft 2
This is the improved version of my contents page, I had adjusted it a lot to make it better in many ways. for example although the subheadings were blue, some were still difficult to read, so I changed some to blue and red and added a stroke of white. by doing this, I used the colours as well as the American flag in the background to represent and imply the origins of Hip-Hop. In addition, I added photos and images to make it more attractive and presentable. Within each photo, I placed a page number and changed the transparency level so that it doesn't stand out too much to take the readers focus off the photo and it also has quite a positive effect on the overall contents page. Nevertheless, I added more contents to make it more generic to a professional contents page. also, I added a regulars section to make it appear like a contents page. I also placed the title of the magazine "Urban Beats" at the top of the page just to make it clear what the magazine`s title was and make it more recognisable.
