This is my final design for the contents page of 'Crunk'. Although it was not compulsory to have the contents as a DPS (double page spread) I decided it fitted in with my style of magazine. 'Crunk' includes a lot of elements that feature in life-style magazines, such as 'Cosmopolitan' and 'Instyle'. The layout is similar to music magazines such as 'Q' so my design has taken an indiviudal interpretation of both styles, hence the DPS contents.
The house style cater's much more to the target audience (girls/women ages 16 - 24) due to the bold and bright fuschia pink used as the backing for each section; this alone emphasises the feminine aspects of the magazine.
The images used ae all original and have been developed using Adobe Photoshop. I have included captions on both images on page 1, both speech coming from the 'celebrity' in the image. This immediately creates a relationship with the audience, and also adds humour to the seriousness of the photos.
The mode of address suits the target audience well. The editor's section shows a friendly face talking in a friendly way and addressing the audience in a way that makes them feel as if even celebrities go through the same every day occurances that 'ordinary' people go through.
