C3. Music Magazine: Contents Page Further Research

I looked at other magazine contents pages to consider whether or not the picture should be larger and more important than the text. In the three examples the words have been made smaller and to fit around the vocal point which is the image. After looking at this I will try to minimise the amount of text and the size of text so that photographs can be the key aspect of my contents page.

 I looked at two magazines where other pictures have been used alongside the main image. I think the example where the images run down the page instead of across is more aesthetically pleasing and I will therefore try to incorporate this into magazine. The use of the large bold font for the word contents enables the word to stand out and make the reader’s eye instantly go to it so that the rest of the page is self-explanatory, I would like to incorporate this. Both magazine contents pages strongly follow the rule of thirds which I would like to embody. I particularly  the example where the main image takes up the right hand corner of the page with the text and extra pictures as a bolder down the left and bottom thirds. I would like to do this but to incorporate the other example I would like the text and images to swap the images went down the page with the text going along the bottom.
