PRELIM TASK: Contents page

Final magazine cover:

Final contents page:

These are my two final pieces of work. Analysing my contents page, I can see there is cohesion between my magazine cover and contents page. The graphic in the bottom left hand corner of my magazine cover links with the contents page as there are several red sofas within the images. I made this specific link as I didn't have much on my contents page which matched with my front cover due to the fact that the image as I used on the front cover was quite plain but I had to do with what I had and came up with this. Also, within the images of the contents page, my models are wearing quite a lot of blue which connects with my magazine cover as you can see there are light blue text boxes along with display up in the mis-en-scene with blue in it. I know this worked because I was told by Mr. Varghese that if you want two colours to go together, you either choose a lighter or darker version of the same colour so I did exactly this and asked my models to wear these specific colours. I was also told by Mr. Varghese that if you want something to stand out, use the opposite colour to create the shape, etc. that you would like to stand out hence why I used the blue and red because if you analyse a colour wheel (look at the one below), you will see that blue and red are exact opposites which is why I chose this background to take these photos in.

Furthermore, the text used in each page are exactly the same. I did this so the pages didn't look like they belonged in completely separate magazines because if I used Times Roman with the Italic font I used, it wouldn't have looked right because it would be completely opposite meaning they would clash and move my work away from looking professional and like real media text. Lastly, I placed the name of the magazine on the contents page as well as obviously the front cover to make an obvious link with both of these pages.

I got the colour of the grey from the shirt of the front cover's model and darkened it a little because if I didn't, any white text such as 'Secondary' would not have shown up which as said before, decreases professionalism which also means my magazine cover and contents would not look like real media text.
