1) This was my first draft of the contents page but I decided to discard it because it seems too passive to attract the audience's attention. Although I really liked how the photo has turned out with the model looking relaxed playing the acoustic guitar.
2) I have then chosen this photo because it is more active with the models having eye contacts with the readers and they generally look like they're having a lot of fun.
3) Due to the image being a landscape photo, I have extended the top part of the photo making it a portrait also the blue background looks like part of the sky and allows a plain background for the text.
4) Moving onto the masthead, I typed out the masthead with the font that was seen on the masthead of the front cover, this will ensure my magazine looks consistent. The month and year is also shown so the readers will know when this contents page is for. I was deciding whether to have a white rectangle behind the masthead of the contents page to make the masthead stand out more, but then I decided the latter one is better because the white rectangle looks too odd.
5) Afterward I added the title of "Features" and the names of the featured articles. there is a red underline to the title and the page numbers are also in red, so that it seems connected to the photo as the model's scarf contains the colour red.
6) I then written briefly about what the featured articles are about under each title, this will allow to readers to gain an idea of the article's content and they can then decide whether they're interested in reading it or not.
7) I created a box at the top right corner of the contents page. I choose to have a grey rectangular box because it is a much softer colour than black, which means it wouldn't be too much of a contrast against the sky blue background.
8) Inside the box I have listed credits to the image used on the front cover for the readers who wish to know the information.
