Contents Page/ Draft

This week I started to work on my contents page and I started off by keeping the design very simple how stated in my previous posts. I don't want to add too much color to the page because I'm gonna use about 4 images in this page and I don't want it to get crowded and overwhelming for the reader. What I would like to add is some more depth to it, I'm not sure if I should do that when I add the pictures or with the text, lines, and shapes.

I started to add a few more details to the page and I kept the  same color that is found in the front page because I want the magazine to have a certain color scheme with every issue. The lines were added to separate the different topics that will be discussed. I added the color under the words because I thought it would make them pop more unlike in the first draft where they look like they're floating around the page. Now looking back at my two first drafts, I noticed that the "CONTENTS" in the first one is different than the second one because I forgot to bold it and that's definitely something I have to go back to change because I don't want the title of the page to be the same as the subheadings, I feel like something as small as that will still take away from the main one. Even though all the text is italicized Times New Roman, the sizing and bolding of the text is important when it comes to getting the viewers attention.

As of now I'm using Photoshop CS6 to create my magazine but I want to try InDesign because I feel like that could be a better alternative that will allow me to get a better result for what I'm trying to achieve with this magazine, as far as the look of it goes.
