All contents pages and captions

This was my initial contents page, there will be a post talking about how I made it on my blog as it is the one I have decided to use. When I first made this page I liked it but later I realised it was not so good so I decided to try and experiment with different pages. However, I had an issue with doing so as my USB crashed, leaving me with no original documents and only screenshots of the three images I had already used for the contents page above.

This is the first remake I created, it took me around four hours over the course of two school days, this included planning time. I decided not to use this page as it did not fit the conventions of hip hop magazines at all and looked more like a movie listing flyer. The colours on this contents page make it appear too childish for my target audience and creates a page that ultimately does not suit the atmosphere of my other pages.
A strength of this page however is the layout in my opinion, although it lacks a clear structure when it comes to text, the boxes around each category make the page appear more clear. I put the writing that links to a picture in white so that it would stand out against the bold colours.  

This was my final attempt to redo my contents page. I believe that if I had time to complete and improve this page then it would've potentially been my final contents page. However, I did not have enough time to finish it the way I would have liked to as I had to move on to my double page spread and evaluation. This page was influence by an existing contents page in which there was text overlayed on a photo of  Doctor Dre. I believe this is a strong photograph of Chloe as I captured a moment where my model successfully communicated her attitude. I again only incorporated colours from the photo into the background and text. If I could improve this cover I would start by re-editing the title text as it does not suit the page. The word "CONTENTS" should have been done in a different font as it looks squashed. Furthermore, the grey colouring also does not fit into the page even though I took the shade of grey from the photo itself. 

*I was not able to post the progress during the stages of these contents pages as they took up a lot of my time, especially the original page. This was because I had to align all of the text, change colours, edit photos etc.*
