In my first copy of my contents page, that I completed on Quark Express, the font sizes for the text and page numbers were too big and took up to much room on the page. Similarly I didn't know how to add a semi-circle in the top left hand corner, drawing the attention to the exclusive preview of the next issue on the back pages. For this issue I had to make one in photoshop before transfering it over into Quark express.
Other issues that I have had is the size of the pictures inside the contents. Some lose their quality when they get smaller. To rectify this issue I have altered some of the frame sizes so that each photo is different sizes. This also links in with Indie genre of being rebellious and going against the mainstream.
However I have managed to follow my main design feature of yellow and black as the main colours for the magazine. These also stand out to the audience as black on yellow are two easiest colours to see against one another (even over black and white). This is why they are used on hazard symbols and therefore gives the reader a sense of danger and rebellion, linking back to the Indie genre. I have also followed the diagonal masthead idea onthe front cover which connotes a level of similarity and could be seen as the magazines trademark.
