2. I used Quark Xpress to create my magazine contents
page. I started by opening a black sheet making sure it
was the right size as my front cover. I then used a box
tool to draw a rectangle and filled the rectangle black. I
then drew a text box to write ‘Contents’
3. I then drew another rectangle box but this tie filled
it red. I did this so that it didn’t blend in with the
first larger black rectangle that I created. I then
drew a text box and wrote ‘Features’ creating a
subheading.
4. I created another
text box where I
then added all my
feature content. I
used a small font
and created a
column for my
content as this was
a code and
convention of
music magazine
contents pages. I
used red and black
font as this was
part of my colour
scheme.
5. I then done the same
thing for my regular
content. This time
however I spread the
text box along the
bottom of the page
leaving space for
pictures.
6. I added the pictures that I
wanted to use by drawing a
picture box, right clicking and
pressing import picture. I
made sure there where no
gaps between the pictures and
that they where all the right
size. I then added numbers in
the corner of the pictures to
show which content that the
picture belonged to. To save
my finished product I then had
to print screen what I had
created and paste it into
‘Paint’ where I then cropped
the print screen as to how I
wanted it to be. I was then
able to save the picture as a
JPEG.
