Contents Page Drafts

Contents Page Draft

1st Draft with found images

This is my contents page draft that i have constructed and drafted with two found images of two big artists from the U.K and USA, Chip & Chief Keef. Below is where i got the idea from to construct this contents page draft because i liked the layout and it the magazine XXL fit in the genre that I am currently doing. On my contents page draft i got the idea of the features section of the XXL contents page and applied it to mine and i also decided to use the colour scheme that was being used.

                      

2nd Draft w/ taken images

On this contents page i experimented with red but the red couldn't be really seen, i had also applied clouds into the background of the image to give it a type of in space atmosphere and i had also tried to make the 'CONTENTS' headline stand out by adding the red as an outline of the contents page heading. 

3rd Draft with found images

 

With this 3rd draft the heading seems to stand out more because of the background of the contents page. In addition, the writing for the contents page numbers and writing beside it isn't really viewable with the naked eye and is very hard to see what is being said on the page.

Final DPS

FINAL MAGAZINE DPS

Here is my new updated DPS:

This is my final DPS that I have constructed, I have changed the whole look and appearance of my magazine DPS. I decided to put my model on the left side of the magazine with the quote "I BRING THE INK TO THE GAME, I AM BLACK INK AND I'M THE BEST IN THE GAME". Also, the way that my model is positioned suggests that he is superior and unstoppable. On the right hand side of the magazine I decided to make the background black with the writing white so that they blend in nicely because black and white blend in very well. I also applied the stand first for my model to give an introduction for my artist "Black Ink". I got the inspiration for this DPS from the image below:

Black Ink. (Photograph taken by Dean Hugh - Johnson)

This is the photo I used for my final DPS, i chose this photo because it shows my magazine audience that he is still an underground artist trying to make a living from a council flat in UK to an artist who collaborates with big Rap artist in the UK and USA. So, i thought that the image is very effective because some people may be able to relate to his current position in the music scene. In the process of constructing the final DPS I rotated him so that his body position will be reflecting in the opposite way.
