Current Progress One

Since last posting, I have added the 'Featured Artists' and the subscription information.

I began by adding the text in the top right of the page, I thought that adding the issue number and advertising to subscribe text is effective as it fills that corner, which would have otherwise been left blank, and it also looks professional as many magazines advertise to readers to subscribe. I used the text 'Jailbird Jenna' as I used it on the cover, and therefore continuing to use it helps the contents match the front cover style. I decided to change the middle line into red as I believe it helps the text stand out, as using the same colour for advertisements may look boring and will not stand out to the reader.

I then began adding the information to the contents page. I started by including a 'Featured Artists' column, I done this so the reader can see what artists are on what page, and therefore find the interview or article they want easily. I chose to use the same text 'Jailbird Jenna' for the title of the column, I believe this works as it is an unique font which is very bold, and therefore clearly shows what the column includes. The font used for the artist names is 'Indy Pimp', I like this font as it is original and easy to see and read, I also used it on the front cover under the main story lines, therefore using it here enforces the house style created on the front cover. To finish the text in the column I left Justified the text, this makes each line start at the same point, and therefore looks neater and more organised.
