Student Magazine: Contents Page

This is my contents page to my magazine, I have made it simple and easy to follow/read. The colour scheme matched that of the colleges logo and I have also inserted the college logo into the background.
I have kept to simple colours for my text and simple fonts as this gives the page an over all uncluttered look which is the style I was aiming for in my magazine.
I have faded the back out by making it more transparent as this means the text stands out against the background and there are no colours too dark.
I used an underline on some of the text for the first time as another effect which creates part of my magazine.
I used a gradient effect to create the mixed background colour that matches the logo, this was difficult to create and took a lot of time to work out how to do it. Eventually I got the look I was looking for.
I am pleased with how the magazine contents page has turned out and think it matches exactly the image I had in my head.
