The stages taken to make the school magazine contents page.

1. Creation of my school magazine
contents page

2. I made sure that the word contents both stood out and
fit the colour scheme that I previously used on my front
cover. This meant I had to use the colours purple, orange
and yellow.
I made sure that the contents title fitted the codes and
conventions by placing it in the top left hand corner of
the page.

3. I made sure that my articles were
separated in to either feature or regulars.
The feature section contained similar
article titles that were located on my front
cover. I made sure the colours used were
appropriate for the colour scheme.
I presented the page numbers in bold and
a darker shade of pink than the article
titles and the information about them.
Making the title bigger than the
description of the article makes the title
appear more important.

4. When placing my main
image I made sure that the
image I was using was
related to the main image
on the front cover. This
made it clear that my main
article for the magazine
was about music and
having someone playing
the guitar symbolises this.

5. Other images used on the contents
page were made to represent other
articles in the magazine. I used shots
taken for the practice shots exercise as
I needed more images due me losing
my original images that I took for the
magazine.
This picture of a sixth former illustrates
my article for AS success.

6. In the middle of the
contents page I set out more
images that would intrigue
the reader in to looking at
both regular and feature
articles
The subsidiary images will
also help people who don't
like the look of my main
coverline and feature article
in this magazine, for
example the year 7 starters
will intrigue younger
audiences as oppose to the
music magic article which
features a sixth former and
may not be as interesting for
a KS2/3 pupil

7. The regular articles are in a different
column to the feature articles and involve
the same set out, meaning the page
number is the biggest piece of text then
the title of the articles and then a sentence
of information about what the article is
saying.
All the regular articles advertised are
weekly, the department of the week, the
stars of the week and the film of the week.

8. This is the overall layout
and display of my contents
page and it involves
subsidiary images, the
word contents and both
regular and feature
articles. I have not
included the title of my
magazine or an issue
number, this could be
something I could work on
in my next project on
quark.
