The document describes the process of creating a contents page for a magazine with a rock theme. Rectangular orange boxes were used to structure the page and contain subheadings in a consistent font. Black and white text and images relate to the rock theme and color scheme. Larger images of models were used to promote stories, while smaller colored photos were arranged on the right side. Transparent orange boxes with page numbers were placed overlapping the images. Consistent fonts and an organized layout create a cohesive brand identity and professional appearance for the contents page.

1. CONTENTS PAGE ANALYSIS
How I Created my Contents Page

2. 1…
To begin, I edited in all basic shapes I was using in my contents page, I used an orange colour as this
remains the house brand of my magazine and relates to the rock theme. I used the same rectangular
shape as it gives the contents page structure and makes it seem more organised; I also the same shade
orange as it gives the page a more professional look.

3. 2…
I included the main subheadings for my text inside of the boxes I created before; I used the same
font as it creates a house brand and maintains a theme for my contents page. I used black and
white as it denotes the rock theme for my magazine and both have connotations of dominance
and status; it also maintains a house brand. I used the font ‘kill crazy BB regular’ as it has jagged
edges and creates a sinister like feel for the contents page.

4. 3…
I added the main text for these particular subheadings into the space provided by the orange boxes. I
used a simple font as it makes it easy to read for the reader and emphasises the font of the
subheadings. I used block capitals for the text as it allows the text to seem important and provides a
more organised, professional appearance. I used black and white colours as this matches my colour
scheme and remains a house brand for my magazine; these colours are illuminated by the orange colour
of the boxes.

5. 4…
After this, I added the photographs to my contents page. I used a large image of a female model as she is the main story for
my double page feature, she denotes a sexual tension which will attract the male audience. I used a black and white effect
as it remains with the colour scheme and denotes an edgy theme. I used smaller, rectangular photographs that relate to
stories within my magazine; I used colour for these as they emphasise the colour on the page and create a concert like
atmosphere for the reader. I positioned these at the right side of the page to allow the page to seem organised and to not
clash images together. I arranged them in a ‘jagged’ format as it relates to the rock theme of my magazine.

I then included smaller, slightly transparent orange boxes; using the same shade of orange that has been used for all
shapes on the contents page. I used different sized boxes to compliment the size of the images, these will be used to
denote the page number that the image relates to/ is from. I located these shapes at the corner of the image, slightly
overlapping the images; I done this to clearly show which image is for which page number and to create a more organised
look for the contents page.

7. 6…
I added the page numbers into the orange boxes, centralising the text into the centre of the box.
I used a black colour for the font as it has connotations of dominance and formality, representing
what the rock genre is about. I used a simple font as it makes the text easy to read and visible
against the orange background; I used a text size that matches to the size of the orange box.

8. I included the page numbers for all articles within my magazine underneath the images. I used
the same font style that I previously used for the subheadings; this creates a house brand for my
magazine and keeps the page looking organised. I used the same shade of orange for this text as
I used for the rest of my magazine as this remains a theme and creates a house brand. I
formatted the page numbers in a column structure as this keeps the page looking organised and
makes it appear more professional.

I then included a small description of the article, located next to the page number that the article
will be on. I used a basic, black font as it is easy to read against the white background and creates a
colour scheme for my magazine. The font I used is the same used previously for the band index and
contents text; this creates a professional look and keeps the page looking organised. The text is
organised in a column format, this makes it easy to read and gives a simplistic yet effective
appearance.

I then added a small description to describe what the image is and who the model is. I used the same
font I had previously used as it creates a house brand for my magazine and makes the text easier to
read against the white background. I located this at the left side of the image, this makes it easy to
know which image this describes. I used an orange colour and a different font for the word ‘TWO’;
this emphasises the phrase and remains the colour scheme of my magazine. I used the same font that
I previously used for the subheadings and page numbers.

11. 10…
I then included the title of the page and the issue number on the top orange box of the page. I used a
different black font; this font has an edgy, almost punk effect therefore it relates to the rock theme of my
magazine. I used this colour as it creates a house brand and emphasises the colour of the orange box; I
located the text at the top of the page as it is the title. It has a large size so it is visible when the page is
first seen, it also denotes what the page is.

12. 11…
Finally, I added the logo for my magazine. I located it in the top right corner of the contents page, this creates
a professional look for my magazine and keeps a theme running throughout. I used a small size so that it
does not draw attention away from my actual contents page.
