For my mock up page, I used the same picture which I used on a previous mock up cover, so that audience know which magazine it is for. Also it implies that the band are the most important article in the magazine as it is the main image. I have used the same font as my masthead in the same colour, so it shows that my magazine follows an organised house-style. I have followed conventions of other context pages - as used main sub-headings which are commonly used on music magazines. I have used several of fonts which is a convention of music magazines. I have used a messier font for the sub-headings and this can link into the genre of my magazine. While the font I have used for the pages is san serif; this font appeals to my target audience because it looks modern - making my context page look more professional. I have also included pictures which contain page numbers on them - this can give my target audience a better idea of who or what the article on that page will be about. I think that the back background was good to use because black makes the pictures stand out more. In addition, it isn't a similar colour which I have used for my font - meaning that my target audience will be able to see the writing clearer. The title of the page "Context Page" is written in the same font which I have used for my masthead. This shows that I have used a constant house style; making my magazine look more professional.
On this context page I have used the same font which has been used for my masthead; this can show that I have used a constant house style through my mock ups. I made sure that I only mainly used three different colours as if I used too many it could make my context page look messier and less professional. I used the colour red - as that links into my masthead. As well red is an eye-catching colour it can also imply danger - which then could be linked towards harsh sounding sounds, and the genre of my magazine does use harsh sounding music. I have used the colour black stands out on nearly anything. As well the colour black can be thought of as being a "sophisticated" colour - which is something I would like my mock up to be. I have made sure that I used sub-headings which would be commonly used in music magazines. The font I used is messy looking and this fits in with the style of my genre. The font which I used for the page numbers is san serif and this can make the font look more modern, which would appeal to my target audience. I made the colour of that font grey - as it is a simple colour, so it would stand out against the image that is my background but it won't distract the audiences' attention from the image. I used an image for my background to show that they will be the most important article in the magazine. In addition, your eyes are drawn to it; this emphasis that they are very important towards the magazine. As I have also included images of the on the right hand side of the magazine. It can imply that the bands are a constant feature in my magazine. As well on my context page I have used other images which include page numbers, this can show the audience what bands are mentioned in this issue.
On this context page I have mainly used a colour scheme of red, black and white. I used the colour black for my background because many other colours stand out clearly on black. Also black is quite a simple yet sophisticated colour which is something I aim my magazine to be. I used the colour white because white is simple and doesn't clash with other colour. In addition, it stands out clearly on the black background. I used the colour red because it is the same colour that I used for my masthead - this can show that I have used an organised house style. For the title "context page" I have used the same font which I used for my masthead. I used this font because the lettering looks harsh and messy; and alternative music can be seen as harsh and quite negative music. I used several of different fonts. For my subheadings I used a similar font to my masthead and because it is quite messy looking, this can link with the genre of the music. The other font I used for page numbers is a san serif font. I used this because san serif fonts are quite modern this will appeal to my target audience as it could make my magazine look more professional. I used two different sizes for my images. For my main feature in the magazine I used a bigger size image - this can show the audience that this issue is mainly about this person. In addition, it can imply that this article is the most important. For my other images I used a smaller size and I included page numbers so it gives the audience an idea of what bands will be on which page.
