I am extremely happy with my rough cut contents page as I believe it looks effective, stylish and creative. The main image stands out on the page and the choice of mise-en-scene adds a whole new dimension to the page. By carrying the same fonts through the entirety of the magazine there is a sense of continuity. Additionally, by altering the size of the fonts, we can clearly see what the most important features are on the page, in this case the artists name.
I really like the fact that the clock overlaps the centre of the page as it makes the spread look more complete rather than having image and text on different pages. I really like the 'drop' technique as I believe both the drop capital and drop quote look very effective here. The text consists of an interview style story with a brief history of the artists life. I am glad that I decided to keep the dotted separation bars as it is a lot easier to read the article.
If I were to make any improvements I would definitely alter the colour scheme as this page looks rather monotone as there is a lot of grey. I would perhaps do this by changing Clayton's outfit to one that contains more colour. Additionally, the smaller photo was unable to me photo shopped as the show was too intricate to cut out near his face so I would definitely take this image again.
