Monday 23rd November I inserted social media logos to my barcode which meant my
front cover was completed. I started my contents page and copied
over the background colour. Because xxl have a separate page for
their editorial I had to do this. I started with my editorial and I
had all ready written the text for homework. Using my pen tool I
inserted it. I used the same font style as my magazine front cover
for my masthead. I inserted my details and placed signature.

roles and names within the magazine. I started my contents page.
