For my contents page I continued with the white colour scheme, but also used the colours black, blue and gold. White was used once again to reinforce purity. The colour black was used to add a sense of darkness and emptiness. Using photoshop I edited my photograph of Adam Thompson, the guitarist, so that the image was black. This was done to create the feeling of emptiness and mystery, so that the reader sees this about the band in the contents page and reads on to find out:
a) What the band members look like, who they are and why they are in the magazine.
b) Whether the band will appeal to them or not, as the picture is blank and gives nothing away.
c) It adds a sense of mystery so the reader wants to read on. The band name, the expressers contrasts with this image as expressions cannot be seen.
The white on black colour scheme was used to make the lettering stand out and so that is easily eligible for the reader.
The colour gold was used to suggest new and exclusive ideas, it also connotes wealth which appeals to all audiences.
The main heading on this page reads 'Inside...' this is not standard english as by itself it does not mean anything but the use of elipsis intrigues the reader and shows them that if they read on they can find out what the magazine features. I intentionally did not have the words 'Contents' on this page as I thought it was unnecessary and simply a page filler. The numbered text and general layout has been used instead of this.
