Overall, I am very pleased with my rough cut front contents page. It looks stylish and professional which is exactly what I was aiming for. The images stand out on the page as they are striking, bright and creative. As you can see, I decided to go with the long shot of Clayton as my target audience said it would be most suitable. I agree with this comment as I have numerous medium close-up shots already. I believe that carrying the same fonts through from my front cover looks effective as it makes the magazine flow and creates a brand identity. I think the arrow looks creative and definitely encourages me to read on.
There isn't much of a colour scheme as there are no bright colours on the page other than those within Clayton's outfit, the female duo's outfits and the social media logos. I continued the grey gradient from the front cover onto the contents page so that the magazine seems to flow. I believe that the amount of writing I have included is necessary although it is fairly difficult to differentiate between page number, title and blurb.
If I was to make any further improvements, I would firstly section off the heading so that the reader can see clear differences between the changes in stories. I will also change the colour scheme to make the page more exciting as at the moment it looks rather monotone. I also think that the pictures aren't that eye-catching and lack relevance. I will ensure that I change this in the future to make the page more visually pleasing.
I created this subscription voucher in the hopes that it would draw attention. By using luring devices such as discounts and free gifts, an audience would be more likely to subscribe. I kept it simple by using the generic 'Native' title which I coloured white and placed inside a black text box. This convention is very popular, particularly in NME magazine.
