Final
During the designing of my various pages i have diverted from the original designs that were drawn up in my plans. I did this because i decided to create something completely different to my plans and i felt that when i was designing my plans i did not take into consideration the position of key parts of the pages such as the masthead, cover lines and captions. This is why my plans look slightly different to my finished products. Also some of the images look different from the photo selections as i went back and did some final editing changes to improve the look of them and make sure they worked well with the other features of my pages
Content's Page; Photo selection process
The selection process;
The photos that I could choose from are all similar but are taken from a variety of camera angles. As you can see the final photos have been edited to make them look as good as possible.

Image 1;
I decided not to use this image as I did not think it would portray the media message that I want across to the viewers. As well as this I thought that even after editing that the image was still not good enough. I did not want to use black and white on my contents page as I wanted to make it as striking as possible.

I did not select this image to use because I thought that some of the details were a bit blurred. Although the image is colourful and striking I just felt that it wouldn't look good on my contents page and that is why I decided not to use it.

I was tempted to use this particular image for my contents page but I decided not to use it because as with the image before I did not think the colours would combine well with my house style. It is a good detailed picture but with the colours and text I am using I just thought it wouldn't combine well with them.

I used this image for my contents page because I thought the colours combined really well with each other to create a striking image that I feel would attract my target audiences attention. It fits in well with the colours of my house style and the array of text that I will be using. This picture ticks all the boxes for me.

I decided to use this image becasuse i found it striking and thought that it would link well with my rock theme. The model is very the appropriate clothing and has the correct facial expressions and posture that i needed. I also feel this image would combine well with my text and the other images that i will use.

I decided to chose this image because i wanted to add some variety to my contents page and i realized i had no female models on any of my pages. I found the facial expression used by the model striking and thought that it would attract the attention of the reader.

Finally i chose this image because i thought that it looked good, linked well with my theme and was edited appropriately. The model again followed the directions i gave him to the book and created an image that i thought was perfect and combined well with my 'house style'

Contents Page Inspiration
I have used these three contents pages as inspiration because i have never designed a contents page before and i wanted to know the rough layout that was needed when it came to creating one. I really like the different and unique colour schemes used by each of the three magazines as they create a "house style" and make each one different from each other. I plan to use something similar for my contents page so that the readers know that it is a content page unique to revolution. As well as this the layout of the magazines is also very effective at getting the message that the magazine wants across to the audience. I especially liked the way that each of the magazines has not just dumped their articles and page numbers in one singular column but have chosen instead to break it up into a number of sections. I really like this idea and will definitely use it for my contents page to make it look as professional as possible. I think it is important to make key artists stand out so that they are noticed first and i will also use this idea to promote some of my new and upcoming artists and make sure they get the publicity that they deserve/need. These three designs have certainly given me a lot of ideas that i can use when i am designing my contents page and will hopefully make it stand out and be unique from the rest.
