2. Firstly I created a pink rectangle with
the rectangle tool and placed it at the
top of my page. I chose the colour as
it was in keeping with my colour
scheme. I created the box to place
my masthead on top of it as many
professional magazine contents
pages do this.
3. I then created my masthead. I did this
using the horizontal text tool. I added the
‘U’ of Underground, this breaks slightly
from codes and conventions as most
professional magazines would have
there entire title however, I felt it was
more important to have the word
contents in bold so readers would
instantly recognise it was the contents
page. I added the date and issue
number as it is standard codes and
conventions.
4. Next I added my first image and the
page number to anchor it to its article. I
made this image the largest as it was
strongest image and was the artist from
my double page spread. I used this
image as it featured an artist from my
targeted social group.
5. I then added the next two images and also
anchored them with page numbers so readers
could easily navigate my magazine. I did this
as it conformed with codes and conventions. I
also added the subsidiary images as they fitted
with codes and conventions. I made the page
numbers pink to keep with my codes and
conventions.
6. I then added a black box across the bottom of
the page so I could place my editors letter and
subscription box somewhere. I used the colour
black as it conformed with my colour scheme.
7. I then created my editors letter. I
added the text using the horizontal
text tool. I made the text pink and
white to correspond with my colour
scheme. I also added a picture of the
editor as is standard codes and
conventions. I used the rectangle
tool to separate the editors letter and
subsequent subscription box.
8. I then created my subscription box and added
my contents. I added my subscription box by
using the horizontal text tool and I combined
pink and white to conform with my colour
scheme. I also added an image of my front
cover into the subscription box as this is
commonly done by professional magazines.
