Contents page - How it meets the audience needs and how i designed it

My contents page meets the audience' needs as it has enough information for the audience to clear see what is inside of the magazine. Also as i added in a few choices of images down the side to relate to the information of the page closest to it. To make it more understandable i added numbers of the pages onto the side of each image. Also the continuous use of the dark red and white text on the dark background keeps it very clear and all the text stands out. Choosing the most effective colours was important as the audience needs to be able to clearly see and read the text.

Firstly, the image i choose for the contents page involves a lot more eye contact from the models which can make it feel more personal to the audience. Also i kept the pink tint, which relates to the primary audience of teenage females. With the masthead i chose to make the shape of the text drop down in the middle of the word, as the image mainly to each side of the page. Also i made sure to  keep the issue date and the magazine logo present on the page to make it more unique. I thought by doing this will make the magazines logo and colour scheme well known and when it is seen people will know the name automatically. 
More over, i added a grey bar and changed the opacity making sure the background image was still visible through it. In this i added the page numbers and the title and information of the main article. As it being in this different coloured bar, it made it look like the most important part of information on the full page. However, underneath this i added white lines to put each section of the contents into different columns, separating the text making it a lot more clear to read.  I made to smaller boxes to put in the names of each column, making it noticeable what each one is. Another thing i chose to do was add images that related to a few of the page titles. Some of the images didn't match up correctly which made it a bit confusing, so i decided to add the specific page number of the title on the certain image, making it a lot more clear to the audience. By making the small section of the information about each page title red, created contrast against the white titles, especially against the black background.
