According to plan, the left side here contains a series of titles and links to each pages. Here I INTENTIONALLY selected some perverted numbers as my page numbers. This will attract male readers considerably and also female because they will be VERY interested in what will be on the page. On this contents page I had the same mast head in the same position because I wanted to have the same house style LIKE Vibe magazine uses the same house styles every time. And the result will look a lot better. IN my opinion I made it look kind of good, well it attracts me, so it might attract others as well.
INTERESTING a HIDDEN main image?!
why did i choose to do this?
Well I wanted an abstract kind of feel to her because, if I were to place the main image in the same place again it would look fairy boring. On contrary to my plan which looks a mess this looks professional to me. the page numbers strikes me a a lot as said before "69" implies something naughty, as said before I again asked others for some reactions and they rally liked the fact that I included those numbers. For my color choices I kept my house style same. A white to stand out and a grey to make it seem more abstract and to pull you audiences in my magazine. BUT it can also be somewhat plain because again the main image is black and white, but i liked my hair effect I had in this photograph because she gives off an aura of wanting to pull you over to read this. However if I were to criticise my own work I would say that my choice of grey titles was bad because it is hard to see. EVEN so I kept it like this because I wanted the same house style. and my connotations for the black and white image is again a contrast of subjects, to keep the subject abstract and looks mature.
Pat, you encode some interesting messages but do you think this is really the best magazine to suit your target audience? The design is very attractive to me as well, but would a Y7 say the same?
