The background image was taken on fireworks night in Hampstead Heath. The bright sparks and optical illusions seemed to fit perfectly with the theme of Game so I decided to use it as the backdrop for my contents page. I thought the font and the simple colour code worked as it wasn't too busy, but the text and the image combined created a striking affect and the inconsistency of the colours of the font were simply due to the inconsistent colours of the backdrop, therefore I had to make it work for the text to stand out so I experimented with luminous colours, changed the image to black a white and tried to use a red instead, but then I ended up with the idea of the back of a CD [ a tracklist] which was inkeeping with the music mag theme. Whether you can tell that I tried to do this or not, I think that it appears to be quite interesting. The slightly less sophisticated layout would attract a younger audience so I think it works well.
