Drafting and planning

Now that I've incorporated the colours orange and black together by getting rid of the blue, I have found it easier to use this small range of colour in my contents page.
Here is an example:
I'm extremely happy with how this is looking. I feel that it is easier to use two colours rather than three. By doing so I can use the brighter colours for my headings and subheadings, making them eye catching, and use the darker colour for my articles - making them easier to read. I like the fact I have used a black outline on the orange title "contents" it stands out and it's obvious to the reader what page they are now on. As my magazine is a monthly magazine, it's important that I have such a wide range and full range of stories. It shows that a lot has happened in the past month and there is a lot for the students to catch up on. In the right hand corner, I like the use of the three images. This is not what I would like for my final contents page, but for now as I'm improving all the time, I'm sure I'll find a way to incorporate more images into my contents page. Overall, I am happy with my contents page at the present time.

The article on the right hand side is an article from Lady Gaga found on Google images. This is clearly not the article I'm going to be using but I needed some inspiration. I specifically picked this article because I am using a single page and want to interview either a music artist or club owner. I thought that the layout may be able to help me. For my article, I'd like the same layout, my interviewee's name on the top right hand side and story written in columns. Yet, instead of a big "L", I am going to use an image of my artist on the top right hand side underneath the writing.
