2. To create the main ‘contents’ title I had to first select the ‘text tool’ and
create the word ‘contents’. I then used the colour brush in order to
match the colour to that of my cover. I then used the rectangle and
colour tools to create the edging around the title.
3. I then inserted my main images be using the picture tool to place the
images at the size and place I wanted them. I then used the rectangle
tool and text tool in order to make the heading for the contents pages.
4. I then inserted the main contents text, which featured what people could
find in this particular publication. To do this I used the text tool and
created a variety of text boxes to place text in, rather than one big one.
This was in order to give me more freedom with where I placed text.
5. I then had to create more text underneath the ‘extra’ section of the
contents. Once again I did this by using the text tool and creating a
variety of text boxes in order to give me more freedom on placement.
6. I then had to fill the white space at the top, so I stuck to the codes and
conventions of a media publication and decided to include issue number
and date and 2 stars. As this was the first issue I felt this warranted making
it really big in order to show it off.
7. Once that was done I had to apply the finishing touches, and part of this
was to put text on the images. The boxes are slightly lighter than others
and I achieved this effect by changing the opacity on the edit tool and
then putting the text overlapping it. This made it pop more and was
simple to achieve. Once I had done this, my contents page was
complete.
