Ideas to my contents page
The first thing I have to decide is which image I have to use and how I will use it. With this in mind I must not forget my target audience or my chosen genre. artistic independent style still needs to be the main objective while not losing functionality.
I have looked at different contents pages, to get some inspiration. These are all indie magazines, I wanted to make sure I stayed with the conventions of the style of the indie genre.
When looking at he magazines I felt they lacked the style I wanted to achieve, I would like to do my contents page a bit more simple and graphically romantic, I feel this incorporates the indie genre. That's what I really like when looking at a magazine, so I will try my best to pursue it.
These photographs are all my own images, I feel they have a good balance of style and indie culture.
My only problem being which one I use as my main mise-en-scene . I will have to see which picture is able to take text the best with out compromising style.
I have had a lot of ideas how my contents page should look like.
This one was the first. I never finished it, because I thought it looked a bit boring and empty, I wasn't doing my images justice.
The second one is successful I think the image is stunning and I don't want the functionality of a content page I think I will use this picture on my double page spread. So I stared a new one again.
I kept using a large picture that covered the whole content page, but I realized when I looked in indie magazines that they used more small pictures and a lot of text.
After I found out that I probably should use some small pictures rather than one large picture, I think it is achieving by outcomes for my target audience.
This is the final contents page idea, my problem of which image to use is solved without compromising the style, but I still have to work on it.
Grey vs. white? White, it must be!
I've changed it a bit. I have put an orange/red box around the second picture on the left side and changed the text, because there were some misspelled. I have found that the language barrier hard.
Here I have just put a box behind the second picture on the right side to fit with my other box on the other side, but I should make it thinner on the right box.
I have changed the box around the second picture on the right side I have done it more thin and darker. I like it much more now!
I think I am done and I'm very satisfied with the way it turned out. I wanted to make sure I didn't drop in standard from the front cover to the contents page, I think this was achieved.
