Making of contents page

1. Making of contents page rough
draft.
Katie Lewis

2. I started making my contents page by using a blank template on quark
where I added in 3 columns. Firstly, I changed the background colour
by drawing a picture box over the whole template were I changed the
colour to grey.

3. I then added a picture box at the top of my page which will help my
title stand out so I used the colour red because I have also used red in
my front cover.

4. Then at the side I added a black border which I took inspiration from
my magazine contents page. I used black because I thought it worked
well with the red.

5. At the very top I added the same shape but long ways across the
top which again I took from my magazine.

6. At the top right corner I added the date which reminds the
reader when it was created.

7. Then I added in my title which I made white so it would stand
out from the black and the red.

8. I then created a picture box so I could add in my picture. I decided to
put it there so there is enough room for my features and regulars.

9. I then added a subsidiary image at the bottom of my page which
link to my feature and regular content.

10. I then added another subsidiary image which again link to my
feature and regular content.

11. I added my last subsidiary image which links to my feature and
regular content.

12. I then added in my regular content which I placed in the column with
the less space because there was more of feature content. I created
the text on word and I saved it as a 97-2003 word document which
enabled me to export it onto quark. I then changed the colour of the
numbers to red so they stand out a bit more.

13. I then added my feature content. I used the same process to get it in
quark then I changed the numbers to red so they match the regular
content. I used my magazine for inspiration on the colours of my
content.

14. I then added lines which I created straight on quark. I chosen to make
them white so they stand out. I chosen to add them in because I feel
like they give it a good professional touch.

15. This is what my magazine contents page looks like without the
guidelines on.

16. Next I decided to add page numbers on my pictures to tell viewers
what page it will be on. I also added the name of the artists to the
picture as well.

17. Lastly, I added a circle to the bottom of my contents page. I put it in
yellow to make it stand out. I thought I'd add this because in my
magazine I bought it included it.

18. Final changes
From looking at my magazine, I decided to make a few last
changes.
I firstly decided to add more information in to my puff
which contains information about subscribing. I decided to
add more information in because originally it looked very
plain therefore I felt like I needed to add more information
in so people know how to subscribe.
I also decided to make my page numbers on my photos
more visible as previously you couldn’t see them very well
therefore I decided to change the font and make them
bigger and bolder so they’re more visible.
Lastly, I also decided to change the font of the text because
I felt like the bits that were meant to be in bold, didn’t look
like they were in bold therefore by doing this it enables
readers to clearly see the artist/bands name so it catches
their eyes.
