Drafting and planning

After some careful thinking about the feedback I received from my Media class, I have reconstructed my contents page.
Here is my first draft:
MINUS THE LADY GAGA ARTICLE!
What they didn't like about my contents page was that it was "too plain", it was in a "menu format". They didn't particularly like my use of a white background, even though I thought it would have been good for consistency. They also said that they would have preferred my contents page titles to be bigger and bolder, and to actually stand out from the rest of the text. Not only that, but the collage of images didn't look right, therefore I have tried to spread the images about depending on which picture goes with each section.

SO FAR, here is my improved version (I have tried to follow the advice my fellow class mates have given me):

This one is much more clearer and actually looks like a contents page! I have made each subheading, bigger and bolder as to stand out and make it easier for the reader to navigate on the page. I think the black background looks a lot more effective and this also links to Dluxe magazine's contents page (which I have been using for inspiration). The only thing I think I need to do to improve is to include more images (obviously I need one for "news and sport"). But also, I have been told by my class mates to think of a pug/puff to include on the contents page. 

I now think that my adjustments to my contents page have made it look much more professional! I am extremely pleased.
