The document provides instructions for creating a contents page for a magazine publication in InDesign. It describes importing the text of the contents from Word, then adding additional elements like the publication date, issue number, and photos. Photos are imported into drawn picture boxes and scaled to fit. Page numbers are also added to indicate where in the magazine each content item can be found. Once these elements are in place, the contents page is complete.

1. Contents Page Production Work

2. Above is the blank page that I am going to create my
contents page on.

3. First, I wanted to add the word ‘contents’ on to the page as it is a code and
convention of magazine front covers. To do this I used the tool highlighted
in the red circle. I used red and black as these were two colours my target
audience identified as their favourite.

4. I then added the contents for the magazine by importing it from word. To
do this I had to create a text box, right click in it and select ‘import text’
Once the text was on the page I changed the format so that it matched my
publication plan.

5. Next, I added the publication date and issue number to the page, followed
by the photos. To add my photographs I used the tool highlighted on the
above print screen. Then I drew a picture box in the place I wanted the
image.

6. To add the photo, I first right clicked in the box then scrolled to ‘import
picture’. Once I had imported my image I scaled it to fit the box. I repeated
this step for all of my other photos.

10. After this, I added the page numbers so that the reader knew where each
of the features from my contents where. Once I had done this my
magazine contents page was complete.
