The document summarizes the process of developing a contents page for a publication. It describes choosing a blue border across the top to match the front cover. It discusses selecting the title in Times New Roman size 59, with a white color and black border, surrounded by a yellow glow for visibility. It also covers including images of the reception with colored borders, and using jigsaw borders around smaller bottom images matching the school logo colors. Text elements are described including a blended blue-yellow masthead in WordArt, white text in the contents bar with star borders, and plain black text for new features.

1. Development of Contents Page By Emily Shufflebottom

2. First… the border Like my front cover I decided to put half of a border on the contents page. But this time I decided to put it across the top instead of the bottom, so it looks like an ‘R’ shape. Also like before I decided to keep it blue so that it would match the front cover. And I also kept the border bevel bossed so it looks 3D and stands out. Like before I then thought about what to put on the border. Because the border is along the top and not along the bottom this time I simply put the title and the logo (again) along the top. After that I thought about what to put down the side border. I decided t keep the idea of putting text down the side so I thought the only text that is on the page is the page numbers, so I thought I would put them on there.

3. Second…the title Like when I was making my front cover, I went through lots of different ideas about what to do on the contents page. Ideas such as fonts, colours, sizes etc The first thing I thought about was the font. I thought about fonts like Veranda, Tahoma, Rockwell etc. But overall I decided that I would have the font the same as the front cover title font. Times New Roman, size 59. After this I thought about what colour I would have the title. Like the front cover I didn’t really want to put the contents title in different colours, so I decided to keep it one colour. Because the title is on a blue background I decided to keep it white and put a thin black border around each letter. Once I had done that I thought to myself that it didn’t stand out enough and you couldn’t see it too well. So I decided to put a glow around the whole thing and because it was on a blue background I thought the obvious choice of colour would be yellow because it stands out and it is one of the colours on the school logo.

4. Third…the images Before I could even think about what images to put on the contents page, I had to actually take them. Whilst I was taking the pictures I decided to put in the contents about some of the new features into it. Like when I made my front cover, I looked at it and saw that I had a blank space in the middle. So I thought about which image to put on it and I decided to put an image of the reception. I decided not to put any effect on this particular image because I thought it didn’t need one. As for the effects on the images I decided to put a thin border on each one but a different colour. These were the two images I took and decided to use For the images at the bottom, I decided I wanted a small background/border around each one. I looked at previous work and found little jigsaw borders so I decided to use them. I decided to make the colours of the logo because they match the border.

5. Fourth…the text To start off with, I knew there was going to be quite a lot of text so I thought about that it all really needed to be the same. The first bit of text I did was the masthead (main headline). As shown below you can see that this text was made in Microsoft Word on Wordart. I decided to keep the original idea of blue and yellow but blend them together. For the text in the contents bar (on the right) I decided to make it white with the small border of stars around each one just like the front cover. For the text advertising the brand new features I decided to keep it plain so I went with black (because the colour of the picture background was grey). And for the masthead I decided to keep it with the colours of the logo so I kept it blue (mainly because the background was white). This text was made on Microsoft Word on Wordart
