Contents page - sketched flat plan


Here, I have sketched a simple, rough flat plan for my sixth for magazine contents page. Since I have already created my front cover I was able to apply some of the aspects to this sketch, to convey the coherence of the magazine, such as the slight shading behind the 'Contents' heading which represents a drop shadow, and I have also tried to mimic the font that I used for my masthead in the completed magazine front cover. Where you can see the rough horizontal lines going across the page, this is where I plan to have my various subheadings of which tells you what is on each page, and then the page number will be beside it. I'm planning on doing this text in the same font as the font used for the subheadings in my front cover. 
The photo I am planning to use for my contents is still undecided at this stage, but from my original photo-shoot I have various photos in mind which I feel would be suitable. Ideally, I would like a picture with the models slightly to the left of the page (so the text can surround them on the right hand side), and I would like the models to be two girls and looking happy. Ideally I would like two girls for my contents page because although it is a female dominating sixth form, a male is featured on the front cover, so I would like to even this out by having a female dominating contents page. 
To make my magazine coherent throughout, I am planning on keeping the colour scheme the same for this page, keeping to the colours of the school. Maybe, it would be nice to choose an image with a background of foliage to naturally and almost subliminally include SHSG's main colour - green.
