The document is a developmental diary describing the process of creating a contents page for a magazine. It discusses using the same title as the front cover by duplicating the layer. It also describes using multiple text boxes to properly place the listings and descriptions, and adding page numbers to link items to the flat plan. The document outlines uploading and editing images using adjustments like levels and curves to enhance details. It notes dragging and dropping the images into spaces on the page and adding page numbers. Finally, it discusses using a black rectangle and text box to write the editor's word in a serious but excited tone to attract and welcome the audience.

2. Title-
I used the same title as what I used on the
front cover because I think that the magazine
should have continuity between the front
cover, contents page and double page spread.
How I got the same title was by going onto the
front cover, selecting the layer on the side that
was of the title. Then I right clicked it and a bar
selection comes up, I scrolled to the top a
chose duplicate layer. This creates another one
of the title which I can then grab and move
onto my contents page, making it the exact
same as the front cover title.

3. Listings-
To create the listings for the contents page I had
to use the text box tool a lot. The reason I had to
use it a lot rather than just once was so that the
placing was right. First thing I used the text box
for was the listings after I had done all of them I
moved on to the description underneath the
listings. I wanted these to look different to the
listing so I put them in blue boxes, this also links
to the front page cover lines. Once both listings
and descriptions were done I then added in the
page numbers, I used text box for this to. Also I
wanted the listings and page numbers to link to
my flat plan so that it made sense. After
everything had been set I then changed the
colour because it is important to have a house
colour in a magazine.

4. Images-
To get the images for the contents
page I had to upload them onto my
computer. After I had done this I
would go up to file then chose open.
This opens all of my files, I could
then go through and pick out the
images which I wanted. Once I had
chosen one it would appear on the
screen in its own box. To give a bit of
individuality into each image I would
press image at the top of the screen
then adjustments, from the
selection that comes up I went onto
levels, this changes the lighting of
the photo so that you can see every
detail more. After I went onto
curves and this changes how the
image looks by making darker edges
on parts that it would look nice.

5. After editing the photos I only had to
drag them onto the page and place
them into the spaces that I liked. I just
grabbed the image a dragged it onto
the page. Once this was done I did
have to add in page numbers onto the
images so that they are linked with an
article and page number. I just used
text box to do this.

6. Editors word-
For the editors word I made a black box using the
rectangle shape tool from the tool bar. I then used
the text box tool to write inside. I tried to make
the writing sound serious and professional but
excited as it is the first article. I think that I came
across as this. I used formal but simple language
to attract my audience and make them feel
welcome.
