Planned adjustments for contents page

After a decrease the volume of block colouring I will introduce more photos to introduce the reader to what is featured in the listed pages, I will use a consistent font or style to create an acknowledgement of the contents page rather than just using the title of the magazine as a header. I will create common links to the music world that can be associated with my audience therefore creating more interest to the reader and the audience. I will commence with an increase in colour and a broader range of artists listed. After researching many relevant music magazines I have noticed how many of them offer reviews, tour dates and upcoming concerts that may be of interest. As my magazine is not intentionally directly for young people, similar to others I have looked at I will offer information like reviews on the contents page in a brief general format, however I will express some further information in to the artists themselves by giving page references to other points in the magazine where the artist can be found. Apart from the visual editing I will also incorporate more text and body tp the page as I feel older readers would want a generous amount of reading material. I will use terminology that is specific to the particular age group I am aiming to design my magazine for: I intend for one page to be about Freddie Mercury and have created the headline,
‘DON’T STOP ME NOW’... From Zoroaster to Zeus: Freddie Mercury and all he was.’
I have decided to use puns like this as a succinct description of what to expect in each page. I think this would appeal to my target audience particularly.
