1. STEP BY STEP CONSTRUCTION
OF CONTENTS PAGE
By Gursimran Kaur
2. STEP 1
First, I opened a blank A4 canvas and turned it
horizontal because I wanted to make a double-
spread Contents page.
3. STEP 2
Next, I edited one of my images for one side of my contents page
like how I had feathered my image for my front cover. Once
again, I wanted a professional look, especially because I wanted
to make the left side of my Contents page into a advert for a
concert; and I chose to use one of my images to portray my models
as singer who would be performing on that concert.
4. STEP 3
I pasted my edited image on the left side of my
Contents page and began constructing the rest of
my Contents page.
5. STEP 4
I added the page numbers on the side along with
the common conventions of a Contents page such
as images.
6. STEP 5
After adding the text on the right side of my contents page, I began
constructing the concert poster on the left side. I used this (real)
concert poster to make mine as this was the design which I desired
to use.
7. STEP 6
However, as I was constructing the concert poster, I
was not satisfied with the results I was getting. So I
decided to start the poster again so that I could make
it look more professional and realistic.
8. STEP 7
I used various logos of real organisations or companies which usually
support a K-Pop concert to make it look more realistic. The ‘block’ font
which I had used as my headline in the front cover, I used it once again in
the contents page to create a font theme in the magazine. This is seen in a
few K-Pop magazines such as K-Pop.
9. STEP 8 (FINAL)
However, I didn’t quite like the right light of the contents page so I
decided to make it look a bit like the contents of a pop magazines which
usually use enlarged numbers for the page numbers and I also added an
editor’s message which is common convention of a music magazine. I also
added a few more of my own images to cover up the white space and also
because pop magazines usually have many images on their contents page.
