Making the Contents

To make the contents page the first thing I did was to put the logo in the top right hand corner, which stands out but isn't in the way.

Which looked like this after I had added the text;



I stayed with my black, blue and white colour scheme, I had the title "Contents" at the top left to be the same size as the logo so it was aligned. To keep my colour scheme I decided to have a black background with white titles and page numbers with the features names in blue so the writing was equally white and blue.

The next thing I did was to get 2 pictures in, these were one of Billy Lunn and one of Hard-Fi, this is because those are to be my magazines 2 main features so they were both pictured on my contents page.

With the pictures i decided to use the "Cookie Cutter Tool" this cuts out some of a picture, i chose to cut out the outline of the picture to give it a more rough look to it, I used the same effect on both pictures and overlapped them, this gave the contents a more messy look to it but it stayed simple.


The last thing I did with the contents was to add the page number, the contents would page 1. I did this by making a small blue box (the same shade of blue as the writing) and then adding a black page number into it.

  1. Really getting to grips with this now Stewart. Your contents page is looking good and the variety of the contents appears in line with the genre. I will speak to you about it and perhaps you can seek some feedback from the other students.
