Production of school magazine contents page

Here are some screen shots my creating my contents page:
 To start I cut out the title from my front cover using Paint. This was to ensure that it was exactly the same title. I also created the word 'Contents' in photoshop so that I could have to same font and look on my contents page. I then added Images to my contents page. For the image of my ID tag, I had to cut out the image and add a cyan background to make the image look more professional. I was not sure where I wanted to place my images until I had added my text.



Next I added Mt text and headings to my contents page. At first I struggled to find good colours to use for the text of my headings but i chose a colour similar to my title. I thought this did not look too good and dealt with the issue later. To create my text I used the text tool on 'Quark XPress'. This had the same font as my title so I decided to keep the font constant throughout. I then moved my images to a suitable place.



Finally I added page numbers to my images which relate to the page numbers of the stories. I also added a black box behind my headings.

The changes that I made to the contents page from my plans are:
  • I made the background of my contents page cyan
  • I changed the positioning of my images due to how they fitted in with the text
  • I left a small space at the edge of my contents page because in my plans i made it stretch to each side of the page.
  • I added page numbers to teh smaller images in my contents page
  • I added a coloured banner behind my headings
