Research and Planning: Contents Page Draft

Here I have designed a draft for my contents page of my music magazine.
It sticks to the colour conventions of black, red and white. This is because of my house style, designed to fit in with the rock music scene.
The contents title at the top is conventional of almost any magazine.
The pentagons with images inside are a feature designed to make these articles stand out. It is an idea taken from Kerrang magazine as that is a magazine which has lots of extra images and text on its contents page.
The article lists at the bottom are designed like this to make it look like typical magazine contents page, though the extra space that's taken up creates the effect that the magazine has something different to offer, relating to the new bands that are within it.
