development of contents page

this is the background i have chose for my contents page. i have used gradient, effect and colour tools to create a fading effect of black, grey and then white as these are the main colours of my colour theme. 

next i added my title and my images. i have used the font blairmdITC TT for the title and i have mixed the lettering around to make it look better and give it more style. the images i have used are of my sisters dunks which i have repeated four times in a line down the side of the page. at first i was going to do a collage of different things associated with music, for example instrumentals, other artists etc, but i decided that i wanted to use these images as i think they look great.

in this image as you can see i havnt really edited much but i have decided to change the colouring of the title because there was too much white in the page which made it look quite plain so seen as though purple is my main colour in my colour theme i have used the colour purple; however i have left the last letter 's' white as i think this will look alot better then having all the letters purple, it gives it a more 'cool' look.

this here is what i have completed so far for my contents page as you can see i have changed quite a few things, firstly i have changed the images as they are now of other artists which are going to be included in my magazine because they make the page look like it is included inside a music magazine as it has varies artist on it; also i have changed the colours of the title but still kept the layout of it because i thought that the purple colour looked pretty dull so i instead i have chosen to use baby blue and pale pink which means my colour theme has now changed too. 'march 2010: touch' is now included on this page next to the title as they shows the reader that it is the march 2010 issue and the name of the magazine is touch.
