The contents page I was able to construct was a combination of all the elements I had learnt as well as the research I had put together to appeal to my target audience.
Again, I used a space/Enter Galactic to carry on the theme of Next Ting (as well as using the logo in the corner of the magazine like many other magazine tend to do), and creativity using splats/sprays. Photoshop CS4 was a key ingredient into making the contents page as I had to thoroughly manipulate the graphics because most of them were originally black.
The large picture of Forever Christ immediately draws the readers attention to it, making them eager to read and look for the page number.
The two free posters at the bottom of the page are included further into the magazine, this was a way of giving the reader something they could could use as memorabilia/collectors item and also because I did not include and free 'giveaways' or competition entries. The caption underneath the thumbnails of the posters can help give the reader a glimpse of the editors tone as I decided to go for a cheeky approach to the reader which could build a personal connection with the reader.
Finally, the Bible scripture at the top of the contents page was placed there as a form of iconography to bring the Christianity into it, and also as a from of encouragement to those who read it. (Each issue will have a different Bible verse).
