Mock up contents pages

The contents page follows on from the first page as I kept the same colour scheme- with the black background, the blue main titles and the white headings. I put two pictures down the side as it indicates what pages the belong to and it also to make it look like there is less writing, however, after I completed it, I decided it would like better with 4 smaller photos to fill up the space, so this is what I'm going to do on my idea two to see if it looks better and improved. Again, along with the cover page, I'll change the colour pallet in the 2nd design to see if it works better than the black, white and blue colour scheme. I think I'll keep the writing on the left side third as that is where people read first but I'll put the numbers on the right of the writing to see if it looks any better than on the left side.

I like this contents page better than the first one, as the 'Contents' page looks bigger and bolder than the first one. Something which i want on my magazine. I have also used a purple colour to match the artists clothing, however, I will stick with the blue as I feel it goes better with the black and white. I went with one large image this time, however, I think i like the idea of using 4 to break up the writing. I like the 3 main headings rather than the two, as it cuts down the magazine further and makes it easier to navigate. In the white space at the bottom, the page would need to go here and the picture would need to be moved slightly further towards the bottom of the page. Overall, I like the white background as the colours stand out on the page and the black is too overpowering.
