Rough Cut Contents Page

This is the rough cut of my contents page. Again I have stuck to my colour scheme of black, red and white. I have added an additional font to this page which is conventional of the rock genre, as well as using my original text font which is conventional of the hip hop genre. This adds variation to the page and allowed me to style my design to both genres. I have positioned my article page numbers down the left side of the page which I also saw being done in hip hop magazines. However I have challenged the conventions of a hip hop magazine and gone for the conventions of a rock magazine in terms of graphology. I have made all the text concerning artists the same size and haven't made any stand out over the rest which was used in the hip hop magazines. I also have used frames for 3 images, I haven't taken the photos yet so the photo used is just temporary so I can give you an idea of my design idea. A hip hop magazine mainly focuses on one photo, the main artist, and doesn't include any additional photos on the contents page. However, a rock magazine focuses on a few of the main artists that will be featured in the magazine on the contents page by including images of these artists. On the right side of the page I have talked about the 'road crew' and people involved in the editorial, contributions, publications etc. This is conventional of both genres so I made sure that I included it on the contents page. Finally when it came to language used I featured a lot of street slang and aggressive adjectives and nouns. This is very conventional of a hip hop magazine and will help to personalise the text to the idiolect of the target audience, creating a chance for diversion.
