On the contents page, there are two sections which features Single and Album Reviews. I have included made up bands and also real life bands in them.
Instead of just making up random ratings out of 5 for all of them (excluding made up bands/songs) I researched each album and what different websites had given them out of 5. I collected the data from different websites to see which rating had the most votes and then placed that data in my own work.
I used websites such as www.billboard.com and www.rollingstone.com to help me investigate the ratings of albums such as Lana Del Rey: Ultraviolence, Marilyn Manson: Pale Emperor, Fall Out Boy: American Beauty / American Psycho and Bob Dylan: Shadows in the Night.
For my made up bands/songs I decided that having higher ratings near the top would be the wisest idea as those songs as the top are featured at the top of the "Top 10" for a reason and when going down to 10 I made sure the ratings out of 5 stars were lowered.
I used golden stars for the ratings as it is typical to see the stars in some online versions of magazines and in newspapers. I incorporated this idea into my work so that my contents page has it's own style of uniqueness and so that it was not fully influenced by one magazine.
