Artist Index

Here is a screenshot of the Artist Index section of my contents page.

Artist Index

I am currently creating an Artist Index for the left hand side of my contents page - similar to NME.
Here is the A-Z of artists that will be included:

Adele
Amy Winehouse
Ben Francis
Beyonce
Carole King
Charlie Simpson
Damien Rice
Demi Lovato
Ed Sheeran
Etta James
Florence Welch
Grace Hill
Gotye
Jessie J
John Mayer
Kate Nash
Kelly Clarkson
Lady Gaga
Lil Wayne
Madonna
M.I.A
Nina Simone
Noel Gallagher
Paolo Nutini
Prince
Rihanna
Robin Thicke
Sam Cooke
Sia
Taylor Swift
Whitney Houston

As you can see, these artists vary in genre and this is because one of the main things I wanted my magazine to do, was to be a range of different styles of music to create a wider audience interest.
Currently, the list does not take up the full side of the page as I was hoping. I will either make the text bigger to fill the gap, or I will add extra names to the list.

Another Photoshoot

During the half-term week I have been gathering pictures I can use on my contents page. I realised I would probably need to do another photoshoot with a girl as my previous two photoshoots are with boys and I want to attract both a male and female audience. It was sort of last minute but I organised a photoshoot with a girl yesterday and used a white sheet as the back drop for the pictures. I dressed her in tights, shorts and we swapped various different tops. One of them being a Ramones one. I wanted to give her a young, fresh look about her and the Ramones t-shirt showed she wasn't just into pop music. I got her to do lots of different poses including pushing her hair up, sitting on the floor with crossed legs and hands on hips. I'm pleased with the outcome of the photoshoot.

Results of Contents Page Research

After asking 12 people their opinion on which style of contents page would best suit my magazine according to my cover, 5 people chose NME, 5 people chose Q and 2 people chose Kerrang! So therefore I am going to structure my contents page in the style of both NME and Q.

Contents Page Research

I am currently piecing together different elements of my contents page and deciding on the different articles that will be included in my magazine. I have decided to print off a contents page from 3 different magazines that would be my main competition in the market: Q, NME and Kerrang! I have then printed off my final front cover and I am going to ask a selection of people which contents style they think matches my front cover the most. I will then use this as a template for my own contents page.
