Double Page Inspiration

I like how there is alot of mixing and matching of colours on this page, for example there is blacks, whites, greys and slight bit of pink i think it looks good and all the chosen colours work well with the magazine double page spread. I like how the main image is on one side and the rest of the text is on the other side of the page, i think this works well and i'd like to do something along these lines for my double page. I like how the image is so plain and doesnt really show much emotion. The main image is a medium close up, and i think it really makes the double page look stronger. I like how the questions asked on this double page are a different colour to the answers i think id like to do something like this on my own double page spread as i think it's a great idea to make the page more understandable and easy for the readers to follow without being lost off and not knowing where there up to,

I love the layout and colour scheme used for this double page spread, i like how the colours stick to just black and white, i always think this is a great colour scheme to go for. i love how the main image still sticks to the black and white colour scheme, the face of the model really stands out and grabs peoples attention because it's the only colour really drawing people to looking at the page. I like how the maiu image is slightly off the page and there is slight parts missing, i really think this is a great effect and works well with different types of magazines to give them more of a real edge to them. I love how there is a quotation over the main image, i think this is a great idea and it will just highlight a main part of the texts in which is being said by this model and that will make people want to buy the magazine to read all about it and find out more about what the quotation is actually trying to say. I really like the fact that the title is a different size and font to the rest of the text on the page, i think i would like to do something like this.. it stands out really well and i think it puts a great effect on the text making it more intresenting aswell as adding more detail to the page. I like how none of the text really lines up and it's all over the second page, i still think it's easy to follow and it's a great detail added to the page!

Contents page inspiration

I dont really think i like this contents page as its so jammed in and all packed together where as i normally go for the more spaced out ones, although i really think this one works as its that type of magazin thats all jammed but still works well as well as being able to read it and understand where everything is. I like how there is all the words 'band index' down the side, there is alot of words and there so small, some people might find that hard to read, and i dont think i would like to chance not having people been able to read and understand my contents page so i would like all my words out there and for them to be able to be seen clearly and read without having to look closely. I like the images and how there only small and dont take up the full page but i dont think i would use this for my own, as i would prefer the picture to be the main sell line and stand out to grab peoples attention

I'm in love with this contents page and think it really works how there is the main picture in the middle that really sells the contents page and the writing is just pushed to the side in a small font, i think it goes great with this type of magazine, i think i would like to try this out with my own magazine, but only if i get a strong enough image to make it work. I dont think i like the font of the title as it really isnt something i would go for if i seen the magazine but i'd still pick it up due to the main image.

Contents page inspiration

I like the layout of this contents page, i like how there isnt alot of colour involved with it but i like how the colour in which is involved stands out and really grabs the readers attention. I really like the main image and i like how it isnt in colour, i think i would go for something like this for my contents page, having a slight bit of colour but i would like to have my main image in black and white so that it stands out but there is more to catch the readers eye on the page. I'm still unsure if i would like the little bits of information about what is on the page under the title of each page as i think it would be better just to have the page name and let the readers find out whats on that page by buying the magazine and finding out for themselves... I think having some information about it would take away the whole point of having the story and would not interest the readers into buying it anymore.
