Magazine Contents Page

Plan: 

My concept for the contents page is based off bullet journals or notebook pages. This contents page layout will suit the audience because as I said in my ownership and profile post, the age group of Cherry Bomb's audience is 17-21 and this age quartile is usually inside some sort of educational institute meaning that bullet journals and note books are a common feature in their daily life. Also I think because the text will look hand-written and the overall page will have a collage-art style, the contents page will have a sort of normal and friendly vibe, and similar to colloquial language, i intend on it looking like something the reader would create (similar to colloquial language because that's words that the reader would say), so I think it will attract an audience with these qualities.  

This is the template that I've made for the cover:
The template looks overcrowded however I think that with a simplistic colour scheme, the contents page won't look too cluttered. Appose to "contents page" or "spread", I'll title my contents page 'ingredients' or something else synonymous because this is pretencious and that's perfect for attracting a audience of impressionable and aspiring-hipster teenagers and young adults. This is my colour scheme:  

The left column is the colour options for the main body of text, the centre column are options for the background and the right column includes colours which may be included in one content's issue, however the colour will probably be angalous with either the front cover image or the photograph on the contents page, and there will only be one vibrant colour.

Draft:

Review:

I made the first draft based off the template,  but I thought that it was too cluttered with text, therefore I removed the thanking bit in the bottom right corner which succesfully made it look more clear.

Analysis of Magazine Cover's Edit 1

Layout choices discusses here and here

Critiques:

The first thing that I want to address with this cover is that the editing and the blocking of colour around the artist is very poor. I'd blame this on the fact that I used a web photo editor appose to Adobe's Photo Editor, as I had to precisely draw around Seah in a coloured paint, and obviously my hands shook around her legs and head. To target this next time I will use a qualified photo editor.
I chose the image because I thought that it was interesting and dynamicful due to the artiust closing their eyes, however now I regret it because I feel a close up shot would be more adaquet for the layout.

Concept:

The colour scheme of blue and pink was decided based on the colour of the dress which had a blue smock and pink collars. Originally I wanted to make the colours more reddish to accompany the title as obviously with the word 'Cherry', most people envision red... however I thought that if I did this, then all issues would have to have red, white is very restricting. I think the colour scheme is aesthetically pleasing as I've chosen pastel shades, however I also think that it's a bit too mellow because they are all pastel shades, and there is not any vibrancy.

Photos

I took all my pictures on a Nikon P7100 camera. I put coloured paper as the background as this will make it easier to photo edit a solid, block colour background. These are (some of) the pictures that were taken:
