Second Draft of Contents Page

In the second draft for my contents page I decided to opt out in changing the background colour this is because when asking for other peoples opinions they disagreed with the idea as they thought the white background was more sophisticated and helped me appeal to the older range of my TA. Also when researching other music magazines they too had a white background just like these two different music magazines. I have taken some inspiration from the Billboard contents page (on the right) where they have used a straight line to divide up there page and in the left hand corner they to have also placed there name as well. 

 Furthermore I still used pages as I felt when trying to use pixlr it failed to make changes where they needed to be done so I had to remain using pages. 

When producing my second draft, previous comments mentions how they wanted me to follow the same colour scheme of purple and white so when editing I still made purple the main colour as I feel it does compliment my genre well as it isn't too feminine or masculine it seems to have the right amount of balance to it and when surveying both male and female they agreed. However the male still thought that my magazine was more biased towards the female audience, which I was intending it to. But I still wanted to evoke that mature aspect to it so I chose purple. 

I have still chosen the same picture of my artist from the previous draft as I think that the picture makes her more interesting as it isn't a typical pose. The picture is very different to the front cover shot, something that the people I surveyed liked as it kept them interested and wanting to know more. 

When asking my peers they still thought that my contents page was too simple and that even though I had changed my layout and added in another female artists the though it was "lacking something". Therefore in the next draft for my contents page I am going to include more pictures. However when looking at the professional magazine content page on this blog post I have noticed that they have unusually placed the page numbers with the pictures. I think that will make my magazine page much more interesting and hopefully make it less simple.
