The document describes the process of creating a contents page in Quark Xpress 8. [1] The author started with a paper draft that was altered significantly during the digital creation process. [2] An initial digital version included many excess picture boxes but looked untidy, so pictures were reduced from 8 to 5 for clearer layout. [3] The final version included page numbers on pictures as planned and kept consistent color schemes and formatting, resulting in a contents page the author was pleased with.

Screenshots of my magazine double page spread 2
The document describes the process of creating a double page magazine spread about an indie musician. The creator started with a blank document and added a black background to match their color scheme. Pictures of the musician were added but weren't right, so new pictures were taken. A blue title was made to stand out against the black. The article text was written separately and copied over. The title was changed to be bigger for more impact. Additional pages were needed to fit the full article. A quote was added to one page for attention. An extra picture filled the remaining space. The font was changed last minute to better fit.

Production reflection - Visual
Ellie Warmingham reflects on the process of designing a magazine cover. She started with a simple cartoon-like background and white borders. She added a title using the "Neon" font and cartoon/3D characters. For the final design, she changed the background to blue instead of green with trees. The character positions changed as she added different platforms for them to stand on. The process involved adding placeholder boxes and images, then text. She adjusted backgrounds and layouts to improve the overall design.

Overall, the author is happy with the professional quality and range of skills shown in the final product compared to their earlier work.
Table of contents. (Improvements)
Nicole provided feedback on a table of contents draft, praising the eye-catching title font and interesting pictures but suggesting improvements. Specifically, Nicole recommended using only two fonts to make the page less busy and choosing a more readable font, as well as spacing out the text more for clarity. The document maker then described updating the table of contents by increasing spacing between lines and sections, changing fonts, making page numbers bigger and bolder, and adjusting picture and text positioning for alignment and fit.

Overall Evaluation
The project brief asked the student to create a front page, contents page, and double page spread for both a college magazine and a music magazine. For the college magazine, the student used Microsoft Publisher and took their own photograph for the front cover. For the music magazine, the student used Quark Xpress and Photoshop and based it on the magazine NME. Through completing the project, the student learned how to use professional publishing and editing software like Quark and Photoshop, allowing them to make their magazines look more polished and professional compared to using basic desktop software.

This document provides details on three tabloid newspaper page layouts created by the author in InDesign. For each layout, the author describes the process of rewriting a broadsheet article for a tabloid audience, creating the page grid and content boxes, choosing fonts, adding images and graphics like mastheads and ads, and ensuring balanced placement of elements. The author experimented with techniques like reverse text and found their third layout most successful at appealing to tabloid readers through its classic font and busy packing of information.
Flatplans of all 3 pages
Theresa Kuhn outlines her process for planning the layout of three pages for her indie magazine: the cover, contents page, and a double-page spread. For each page, she creates multiple draft layouts, considering elements like positioning of images and text, use of color schemes, and how to effectively display content. Her favorite cover designs involve creatively placing the magazine title behind the model. For contents, she prefers a layout with the image filling the page and title at the top. Her top double-page idea features edited images flowing across both pages with columns of text on one side.
Music Magazine Contents Page Drafts
The document outlines the drafting process for a contents page for a music magazine, with the author rejecting early designs that did not appear clear or conventional and refining the layout through multiple drafts. Revisions included removing a red box, adding boxes to separate sections, inserting a puzzle background effect on one side, and fading elements to ensure text remained visible. The final draft included a completed table of contents and editor's letter to complete the page in a conventional magazine style.

The document describes the process of creating a double-paged magazine spread in Photoshop. The creator first sets up the document as a landscape A3 canvas. They then section off the pages and add text boxes, images, and graphics like banners and pull quotes. Colors and positioning are adjusted to make the layout cohesive. Additional elements like advertisements, biographies, and social media icons are incorporated. The images are also edited for better quality and vibrancy. In the end, the creator has produced a polished, two-page magazine spread layout in Photoshop.
Magazine design evaluation
The document summarizes the process of creating magazine covers for a class project. The student conducted research through questionnaires to determine what type of magazine to create (electronic music) and key elements to include (interviews). Product research involved analyzing features of existing magazine covers. The student created designs for the logo, edited images for use, and designed the cover, contents page, and a double page article spread using Photoshop. Feedback indicated the layout and color scheme looked professional, but text was sometimes difficult to read due to its size or color. The student was pleased with the overall professional appearance but would address readability issues in the future.
Making of the double page spread
This document summarizes the process of creating a double page spread for a magazine in Photoshop. Key steps included: 1) Hand drawing a plan showing photo and text placements; 2) Editing photos by adjusting levels/curves and cutting out backgrounds; 3) Creating a canvas twice as wide as other pages; 4) Adding a background gradient and photo, then cropping and softening edges; 5) Making text boxes in desired areas and experimenting with styles/colors; 6) Adding a secondary article and photos; 7) Adding a banner at the bottom for advertising. The final spread followed the color scheme, made text easily readable, and flowed well for readers.
Skills development for blog
The document discusses the iterative process of designing a magazine masthead and contents page. Some key points:
- The designer tried different layouts, fonts, and color schemes for the masthead before settling on one with black and white letters against a light background.
- For the contents page, the designer experimented with column layouts, backgrounds, fonts, and images before aligning elements consistently and choosing a color scheme matching the magazine's style.
- Feedback from others was solicited to help refine the designs until an easy-to-follow layout was achieved that maintained the overall magazine's visual identity.
production reflection magazine
The document provides details on Daniel Morland's process for producing a magazine on rock climbing. He emails a rock climbing facility to request permission to take photos on site. When they do not respond, he visits in person and is granted access. He takes photos of a friend rock climbing in different positions. He imports the photos to his computer and organizes them. He designs the magazine cover in Photoshop, adding images, textures, and fonts. He then designs the double-page spread, again using Photoshop to layout images and guides before adding text in InDesign. He exports the final design as a PNG for online sharing.
Task 4
This document describes four page layouts created in InDesign. For the first layout, the author created a three-column spread and placed images as headers and footers. For the second layout, the author used a 3x3 grid and placed an image across the top, with text and a pull quote below. The third layout featured a fashion sketch and minimal elements. The fourth layout placed a large image across two columns with text in the remaining columns styled with reverse colors. Through these layouts, the author explored using grids, images, and colors to create balanced page designs.
Creation of contents
This document summarizes the process of redesigning a contents page. The author was initially unhappy with their first design because the spacing and text layout needed improvement. They then created a new design on a larger canvas, removed color from backgrounds, added columns for stories and regular content, included additional images, and made graphic tweaks. The final contents page incorporated aspects of the original design while addressing the author's earlier layout concerns.

Creating my contents page
- 1. Creating my Contents Page On Quark Xpress 8
- 2. This is my very first draft on paper which I altered a lot when I started creating it on Quark. This was just a rough outline of what I wanted it too look like after looking at some other contents pages such as NME and Q.
- 3. Starting to create on Quark. This is how I started to create my double page spread on Quark. I started off by using lots of excess boxes for pictures as I thought this would look quite messy in a good way, however overall I think it looks a bit untidy and I will probably cut down on the amount of pictures. I also put in the green grids to help me make sure that my text is all equally laid out.
- 4. Second attempt. I added the pictures onto it and I also cut them down so there was only 5 images instead of the original 8. I think this made it look more tidy. I also added the music note logo onto the top near the contents as I thought this would tie it in with the general magazine.
- 5. Final Contents. This is my final contents page. I decided to include relating page numbers onto the pictures like on my original plan. I also kept the small writing underneath a white text so it would be in keeping with the colour scheme. I also added the text into my right hand note from the editor column as well as my name which adds a more personal touch. Over all I am pleased with how it has developed from my first draft.
