Rough Cut

Today I started my contents page, I have based the layout on a blocky Q contents page with the picture down the right hand side and the information down the left hand side with the magazine title in the top left corner and a contents banner along the top!
I have done this because I want it to follow the codes and conventions of a Q contents page as closely as possible as they are my style model. Similarly its easy to base it on something and but your own swing on it then just doing it yourself from scratch.
I think it looks really good because it uses a similar photo to the double page spread, in fact a photo from the same shoot. This adds sinuosity to my magazine and it makes it obvious that both the pages are from the same magazine.
I have also used the same font through out my magazine. I have used Franklin Heavy, I like this because it give the magazine a house style and makes it look classy, however I have also used a graffiti font through out so it follows the graffiti theme that I have got going on for my double page spread.
