Analysis of Contents Page (Edit 1)

The contents page of Cherry Bomb is my favourite part, because it is 100% a self-made idea. I decided to make the background lined A4 paper as the magazine doesn't aim to be illustrious or professional, instead it aims to be amateur and this simple and everyday background serves this purpose. Also it's not too bold with mainly white interjected by the tiniest bit of baby blue, therefore I think it suits.

The colour scheme on this page differs from the rest of the book as it's pink, white, blue, and black, Pink and blue are both fun, vibrant, and again, not too professional or sleek. I chose the image because I wanted pink and blue because in a stereotypical sense, blue epitomes boy and pink is the pinnacle colour for girls, and I don't want Cherry Bomb to sway more towards one gender than the other, because in it's rawest form, Cherry Bomb is a music magazine for young people, White is the main colour and the least present colour, as it was the colour of the canvas but only present via the transparent doodles or the transparent page lines.I think because it isn't excessively white, the colour doesn't look to simple or minimal, but instead just like a refined doodle pad.

The title of the contents page was ingredients because, essentially, ingredients are things which are combined to make a big thing. Ingredients is only really placed in the context of food, but I thought that this title suited the ostentatious and showy audience. 

The main image differs from the cover image and double-page image as it's a different set of colours. I've said this before in a previous post but the image is dynamic and interesting as the model is shutting her eyes and sort of swaying her body and her frock, so I wanted to include this image. The image is framed with a poloroid as these are popular and also very casual, which is what Cherry Bomb strives for. The poloroid is tilted because I wanted it to look not-so geometric and precise, and like a dimensional poloroid inside an actual notepad.
I placed doodles in various parts of the book to make the book look like an authentic notepad with cute scribbles from the owner.
However, I'll have to recreate the cover as I used a secondary image to promote sponsoring the magazine, which isn't allowed.
