I have added a large image that represents the three artists that are featured in my magazine, I have a large headline that is clear. I am using a sans serif font to show that the magazine is not too formal this font does not utilise hooks, brackets and feet – informal, modern and youthful. Hence my magazine’s target market is teenagers / young adults because over 30 are no so interested it rap. Rap is applying to the younger age groups. I have tried to keep a consistent font and house style which is why I have highlighted some of the text in red, have a big T in red. The most important bits are in red. I have added a series of questions that were asked from the public  to the Trio.

There is a pull quote “From the hood to hipsters” the fact that ‘Hood’ is in red just signifies

that danger the colour red  conforms alert and danger and

the word hood is usually gang related, this is also a quote from their new song the image fills the complete one complete side to enhance the emphasis on the ‘Trio’. The clothing they are wearing is the typical clothing a rap artist would wear.

The colour scheme represents all my other products, Front Cover and Contents Page.

I have the main title CONTENTS in bold as this is a convention
of a contents page and I am using the same house style as I have in my previous
front cover and present double page spread.

I have not included a preview of the front cover to
challenge the conventions of a front cover however this may not be successful
as to my contents page isn’t as good as quality of my front cover.

I have included a twitter account for emphasis to try
and make my Contents page better.

I have added 5 different subtitles.

I have 6 different artists that are to feature in my
magazine.

I have included two smaller images instead of my
original idea of one big image, The five different headline are to appear in
every issue.

I only have two columns of text.

The two images have captions above their heads to
explain what they’re about and who they are.

The 6 different artists have numbers next to them which
are page numbers that you would have to go to, to view that artists article, I
have also added a little pull quote from the article to try and hook the reader
to this article.

However I could make the ‘FEATURES’ title and ‘NEWS AND
REVIEWS’ title stand out more to make my contents page better. Captions have
been added to the pictures however this needs to be improved.

I have used a short and catchy magazine name according
to the genre of my magazine I have called my magazine ‘WRAP’ when my magazine
is a rap/ hip hop magazine and the fact that it is called ‘WRAP’ is meaning
that this is a magazine that has rap and hip hop content wrapped up into this
one issue. I have added the barcode in the corner this is a requirement for a
front cover.

I have the picture enlarged and is clearly the focus of
the magazine, I have backed this up by challenging the conventions of a front
cover and made the picture appear over the masthead so you cannot see one
letter but however you can make out that it says ‘WRAP’

I have added a strap line over the masthead to add
emphasis to the magazine and give it an ‘edge’.

I have added a launch issue and price in the top right
hand corner this is essential on a front cover.

I have added two pull quote that are required to be a
successful magazine.

I have added a banner for emphasis and also this is one
of the key conventions for this magazine.

I have challenged the conventions of a front cover by
making my picture appear over the masthead and this is not a convention of a
front cover thus challenging it however I think it has been successful as you
can still tell what the Masthead is and this make the photo very subject of the
magazine. I have a consistent font  of
Century Gothic this is sans serif font which is a font that does not utilise
hooks, brackets and feet – informal, modern and youthful. Hence my magazine’s
target market is teenagers / young adults because over 30 are no so interested
it rap. Rap is applying to the younger age groups.

The Headline ‘KayBee’ is showing us that the magazine is going to feature
this artist, this is a large dominant picture and is clearly subject as it
covers the Masthead.

The Issue number is most of the time positioned in the
top left or right corner of the contents page. Normally by the magazine title.
The Issue date is usually positioned with the issue number, they are shown
together on the front cover and the contents also. The main image on the
contents page suggests it will be the main, most important story in the
magazine. It is usually positioned in the middle or towards the side of the
page. It is framed by the rest of the text. Masthead is usually in the top left hand corner of the
contents page. Category headings ‘in every issue’, ‘regulars’, ‘every
month’ This is usually on the left of the page, also the last of the headings,
near the bottom of the page. E.g.. Subscriptions, puzzles, competitions The contents page is laid out into 3 or 4 columns, they
are to the side of the main image. As if they are framing the image. They never
overlap or cover the image. Font is usually in size 11pt, numbers may be bigger and
obviously the ‘contents’ title. Editors letters, Some magazines have messages
from the editors who produced the months magazine. These are usually in either
of the bottom corners of the contents page. The front cover of contents pages may have a small copy of
the magazine front cover, they put page numbers in circles to show which story
is on which page. This makes it quicker for the audience to locate the page
they want.
