Contents Page

Here is my contents page. I have closely examined another Vibe Magazine Contents Page and based mine off it. I implemented such features like;

  • Bolding of keywords
  • Way of laying out numbers
  • 'Fashion' tab with '>'
  • 'Features' Sub-heading above contents
  • Magazine Logo found in background
Overall, I am pleased with the result of my contents page and do believe I have used a healthy amount of Vibe Contents Page conventions.

Double Page Spread Changes

I have changed my double page spread, adding actor background story & relating to a hit single. Aswell as a Q&A which I found used on another Vibe music magazine double page-spread that featured kendrick lamar. I also have stuck closely with the guidelines and made sure everything is aligned.

Front Cover Image Changed

I decided to change my front page actor as it did not match the one on the other pages. I also like this one better as it gives off much more of a mood. The actor looks serious, and has his hood up; which matches the conventions off a typical rapper.

Contents Page Guidelines

I have applied the same guidelines to my contents page so that I do not put any text or other design in an area which would be unseen in the final print.

Front Page Guidelines

I have added guidelines onto my front page and revamped some of the text sizes and positioning to ensure that it does not get cut off during the printing process

Double Page Spread Guidelines

On my double page spread, I have applied guidelines which give me a indication on where the page will be cut during printing, this is important because I do not want the contents of my page to be damaged. By applying these guidelines, I have also slightly revamped the position of some text including the HG logo.
