Finished Music Magazine Contents Page

This is my completed contents page for my magazine. I have now added the reviews section and have also added the masthead infront of the reviews title, this way the reader will be able to trust us further as they know that all reviews belong to 'HITS' magazine and haven't been written by just anyone. I have added a footer bar and within this bar is the social media logos that we have accounts with i have done this so my target audience can recognize that we are a multi-platform brand and we are expanding to accommodate to the changing society as more and more people are becoming techonophiles, there is also an indication that notes that our social media links are inside the magazine. There is also the date that the magazine has been published and the contents page number, also in the footer is a small masthead before the page number so that it can be recognized as a 'HITS' magazine page. I feel that now my contents page links in with the rest of my magazine so far.
I have added a black border around each side of the contents page, i feel by doing this i have brought the magazine together and made it look a lot neater. I feel that with the added changes it now looks more like a contents page. I have used faint grey lines in between each section so that it breaks the page up a bit but doesn't look hugely untidy and still looks neat.
I have changed a few little details on the page that i wasn't happy with, the biggest one being the color of the front that is beneath the subheadings, it was previously a really light grey and was hardly readable and noticeable so i changed it to a darker grey but still made sure that it was a different color to the subheadings themselves, by doing this i have made a clear definition between the subheading and there previews/pull quotes.
I am personally very happy with how my contents page turned out in the end, although it doesn't look identical to a professional music magazine, i feel i have tried to make it as sophisticated as i can. I have taken certain aspects from professional magazines and then changed and adapted them into my magazine. I have achieved everything i had planned to for the contents page, i have also added little details that weren't in my plan but definitely brought my page together. I feel that maybe the layout could been placed differently but overall i am very pleased with my final contents page.
