Construc)on of magazine contents page:
First I used dafont.com to recreate the contents banner to be in the same font as the masthead and then in Photoshop, I used the effects to create the drop shadow again. I did this in order to give the audience some familiarity with the styling of the masthead so they are more likely to remember it, and also I believed that this suited the layout of the magazine as it makes it look more professional. I also included the mas-‐
thead next to this banner and the date and issue number again.
Following my original planning, I have included secAon headings on my contents page to divide all of the contents up, as I believe this will make my magazine look more professional and it more organised for the target au-‐dience to look at and understand.
Using the “Bookman Old Style” font in a bold style and size 30pt, I added the page numbers to the main contents list. Also, I used the “stroke” effect and co-‐loured them yellow in order to make them more visible to the reader.
The next step I took was adding images to the contents page. I cropped the image of the cover arAst in Photoshop, prior to posiAoning it on this page, as the full image did not fit into the layout well. AddiAonally, I followed a convenAon of a contents page by adding a border to these images. I also placed the page number of the arAcle that the image is relaAng to on top of the image in a larger text size so that it does not get lost in the photograph. I then added short capAons to the photographs.
I then added a small editors note to the contents page to introduce the readers to the new magazine and give them a small insight into some things that can expect to see in the issue.
The penulAmate step was adding in a compeAAon secAon of the page. Using the magneAc lasso tool, I cut around the original photograph of the guitar so it would fit into what the text was saying.
Finally, I added in the text of the contents and the small descripAons underneath.
