I chose to use an app on my phone to edit the photo called Befunky. There was a section on the app called Beautify where I could choose an edit that I liked and I chose Summer 2 and this gave the coloured lights effect. I liked this because it created the same look as both the front cover and the double page spread, which kept the house style throughout.
In addition to this, I also used Pixlr express so that I could use the same text as I had done for both the front cover and the double page spread. I continued with the 'Retro' text because I felt that this suited the Indie/Rock genre perfectly, and used 'Airstream' for the title because then it would be the same as the double page spread but different to the title making it obvious that the front cover is completely different from the contents page. This also means that readers will be familiar with this layout and text type. I also use 'Hamuburger Heaven' for the page information because as well as being in the 'Retro' setting like all the other text in the magazine, it looked the most informative and was easy to read.
The small print text in the bottom right corner is giving information from where the photo was taken. I used 'Diner' text as this is the same text used within the music magazine when there is narrative speech or when something is said by an interviewer.
