Drafting and Planning: Even More Improved Contents Page

I improved my contents page in accordance to the feedback I got:

I adjusted the 'charts list' to 'HARK HITS' instead to add a greater sense of individuality. I also altered the page numbers to make it seem there's more pages than there are, and I altered the order of some of the articles, putting Todd Taylor under Featured and rephrased TOP GIGS to TOP 100 GIGS so the 100th edition has a special article to it. I also squashed up the 'HARK HITS' list so I could include a 'listen to preview' section, I even made a little HARK logo alike the ones of facebook and twitter! And finally, I adjusted the 'ISSUE DECEMBER 2014' to 'ISSUE: JANUARY 2015' to update it and to make the phrasing more understandable.
For other improvements, I could move the 'Guide to Rock' to the 'Featured' section (I'm unsure of whether I should move the 'TOP 100 GIGS' to the Featured' section too) and make some of the page numbers over 100, since most music magazines tend to have more than 100 pages.

But other than that, it looks brilliant! It's really looking complete and the use of gold really ties everything together into an even stronger piece! I think my double page spread should be heavily influenced by the contents page, especially with it's use of black columns and thin threads of red. The red and black really does add a drama which wouldn't exist without it, and you need a bit of drama and moodiness with a rock magazine! I think it compliments the front cover very well as well:

The shadowing of the main cover line in correlation to the similar effect of the contents page heading makes each of the pages compliment each other very well and helped to set that dynamic theme which is prominent throughout! I love how Little Blue is now given a new powerful identity through the help of editing, fonts and colour! It really does help tell her story of her talent speaking for her rather than her general appearance (and even then she has the right facial expression for a rock magazine too, a sense of superiority and pride from her achievements.)
