2. I started off with a blank A4 page on Photoshop. Thinking about
how I should construct this contents page.
3. I then put the Heading “Contents” in the top left of the page and a picture of
my main music artist in the bottom left of the page. I put a pink outline
around the picture to increase the feminine look around the picture.
4. Then I added the second image I planned to use for the contents, at the top right of the
page, and I put a blue outline around it to exert masculinity and match the colour of the top
the artists jacket. I put the text “Issue 3 April 13th” to make it seem more like a music
magazine.
5. I then added the headers “Regulers” and “Features”. I put them there to show which parts of
the contents were featuring or normally there. I put features next to my cover artist because she
is the featuring artist of my magazine.
6. I then started to add some of the contents on the page. I put the star there to emphasise
the feature aspect of the contents.
7. After I was making the contents, I decided that it wasn’t working to well with my colour
scheme, and I wasn’t really liking how it was going, so I decided to re-start making my
contents page, with a new design. I started by putting a black and white gradient which
matches the background in my new front cover.
8. I added the contents heading and the issue number and date. I chose the inside of the
contents heading to be blue and the outside to be black/dark grey. I did this so it would
match the way I coloured the magazine title of the front page. I did this to make the more
important headings have a blue fill to stand out, and the rest of the text have the
opposite, with a black/dark grey fill with a blue outline. I gave the contents heading the
same cracking effect that I gave the magazine title.
9. I then put the headings “Regulars” and “Features”. I gave the Features heading a Red outline to
make the Features section stand out from the contents, like I did on the front page with the
Marylae section. I also gave them the cracking effect, so they would come out as important
parts of the contents, which they are.
10. Then I added Boxes for where I will put the actual contents for the sections. I used the
colours I did to match and keep up with the colours I have used throughout the magazine.
11. Here is where I started to add some of the actual contents. I used some of the common interests
of youth of today, things like the blackberry craze. A extremely large number of young people in
London have now obtained the blackberry phone, so to talk about it in my music magazine
would be of a common interest amongst my target audience, as my target audience are mainly
youth. I put the regulars contents in black/dark grey fill and a blue outline, and I put the features
contents in light grey fill and a red outline, to match the colouring of the Marylae (cover artist)
text on the front cover.
12. Then I put in the additional images, of two more grime artists. With this, I added page numbers
on where you can find the news on the artists on the bottom right corner of each artist image.
13. I then added the final parts of the
contents, and with that, finished my
contents page. I think that this contents
page works better than the previous
one that I was making. This one also
goes with the new front cover I made as
well.
