Stages of contents page

I carried out the colour theme and font from the front cover to give my magazine a house style and make it easy to recognise by the target audience, this will also makes my magazine appear professional and flow better. I began by opening up the jpeg of my title and copied and pasted it onto the contents i roated it slighly and positioned it in the top left corner. I then wrote inside above it in pink to match the colour scheme also in pink i wrote this week all in capital letters and pink. I also underlined the text so it was sectioning it off to the rest of the page. I chose to write this week as i didn't like the idea of just having contents. I then added the date of the magazine. To give the page a more finished feel i used the rectangle tool to create a small line at the bottom of the page and filled it pink to match the line underneath 'This week!'. Underneath the thin rectangle i placed website on the left side and the page number on the right in the corner i then opened up the mastehad jpeg and copied and pasted it onto the contents and changed the size to fit.




Next i added a box by using the rectangle tool i then added the text and arranged the layer so it was at the front so the text had a pink background. That was for one of my sub-headings. I wanted a few images on my contents page so, i chose one out of a photoshoot i did of a couple of my friends posing as a band 'Double take' i chose my favourite one cropped it and brightned the photo. To give the photo's a more finished look and to go with the colour scheme and layout of the contents i added a border around the photo by resizing the canvas size and adding roughly 0.5 cm. I placed the photo on the right side of the page underneath the date. I then used a photo i had taken from take that concert and added a border around that. For a final photo i used one from the photoshoot of my main model vicky and added a border around that too.







After looking at the layout i didnt really like it so i moved the photo's to the left side of the page and positioned them differently. I then used the rectangle tool and drew 2 pink boxes to be the background of the two sub-titles 'Features' and 'Regulars', this makes the sub-titles stand out to the reader even more.







The next step was adding the text, underneath each sub-heading i used separate text boxes for each peice of text. I used the same font i used on the front cover and carried it onto the contents. I put page number then drew a small rectangle using the rectangle tool seperating the number and the story and drew a thin line also by using the rectangle tool, between each story to give my magazine a more professional look. I also added the issue number under the date. I copied and pasted the front cover onto the contents as this is a convention of contents pages.






For the final stages, i decided to add one more image from a concert and added the page number by each image in a large font and black to match the colour scheme. I then positioned the front cover and turned it diagonally. I decided to do subscription box so i added the text then drew a rectangle filled it pink, i did not simplify the rectangle box so it was slightly different to the plain pink boxes surrounding 'features' and 'regulars' and arranged the text layer forward.
