This is my first contents, and I have to say I am not happy with the layout or the colour scheme. It doesn’t show the content of my magazine effectively and the image at the bottom is far too large and doesn’t fit with the house style of the magazine. The image of Slipknot on tour was not one that I took myself; I took it from an article published buy rock fest on Slipknots 2012 tour dates. Here is the web site, http://www.gorockfest.com/artist-news/slipknot-tour-dates-2012-announced. I am planning to change this contents page completely, however I do think that they layout of the text is effective and I may keep this however I think that more text is needed and the images need to be made smaller.

This is my second contents page and I have to say that I am a lot happier with this than the first one. There is a better layout as far as text and image are concerned and I continued to use the same layout of text as with the first contents but I changed it slightly with the Kerrang Tour placing that on its own and not in a group. However there is a small amount of space at the bottom of the page, I haven't yet decided if I should put something in it or if I should leave it blank. I am going to take a look at certain things that should go there and then decide.

This is my third contents page but I am still not happy with the layout. All of the numbers are mixed up and the number boxes have turned out all different sizes which really doesn't look professional. The numbers being mixed up is going to lead to confusion, it would make it hard for people to find anything in my magazine because there is no order. I have also decided that placing 3 of the interviews above the drowing pool image isnt a good idea because they are not easy to spot and people may miss them and then they are not able to find what they want in my magazine. Also the fact that some images contain the names inside the border and others dont makes the page look very unprofessional. There are a couple of things that I am going to change on this contents page and this includes the layout and the number boxes.

This is my fourth magazine cover and the layout changes that I have done work better than my previous
contents page. I have changed the layout and decided that each imaged used should have the page number and the name of that article on the image to prevent any confusion and also it is something that I have seen in magazines such as 'Kerrang'. I changed all the number boxes and I made sure that they are all the same size and I the contents page looks a lot more professional because of this. I also put the numbers all in order so that my audience are able to find what they want in my magazine very quickly. The way that it was organised before was suppose to be sections but because I didn't have the space to include the title of each section it just looks like I had put them anywhere. I have changed the size of the biggest image on there so that I am able fit the text in a large vertical line. However the amount of images on the contents page still works well because there is a mix of gender as there are males and females on the page which gives it the 21st century twist.  

This is my seventh magazine cover, I have decided to get even closer to the image, this makes it look like she is looking directly at the audience and it seems like she is making direct eye contact with them. The image its self is shown better when it is close up rather than further away with all the extra space on the cover that can't be covered with text. I have placed the list of artist at the back of the model however I am not fully convinced that this is the best place for it. I'm thinking that it would be better in another place. However I am much happier with the improvements of my cover now than with the previous ones.

This is the cover that I am very pleased with, there isn’t a lot of left over space and the text fits in with the image and nothing is to overpowering on the cover. The image is one that looks like a 'Rock Chick' and with doing a close up of the image you can see this much more because you can see the detail and the fact that she is moving makes it a unusual image that you would find on a front cover as most models pose. This is my best front cover and I think I will most likely use this as my final front cover.
