The document describes the process of designing a magazine contents page in InDesign. Key steps include: 1. Creating blue headings using the box tool and adding article titles below the relevant headings. 2. Using black text for article summaries to make them noticeable but not overly prominent. 3. Adding page numbers in the Bebas font for consistency and arranging images and text for balance and engagement. 4. Incorporating feedback to address empty spaces, add page numbers and article information for improved readability and interest.

1. I started my contents page with the headings
which I made by clicking on the box tool in
InDesign -> changed the colour to light blue -> put
text on top. I placed them where I thought they
could go. I really like the white against the blue as
it’s bright and noticeable, which is what I would
want as it would draw readers in.
I then added article headings on. This
was also in bebas, but I did it in blue
instead of black as it goes with the
colour of the heading and creates
continuity which is what the magazines
from my research did. I arranged the
titles under what heading I thought
they would go under.
I then used black for the article teasers/ summary’s
as I wanted then to stand out from the headings, but
not too much, which is why I went for black ariel as
it’s typically used in magazines so everyone would be
familiar with it and it’s not too showy, which would
mean that it could be un-readable.

2. I added the page numbers in and some
images, which meant that I had to move the
titles around a bit. I used bebas for the page
numbers because it was something I said I
would do in my planning, but I did it in
black, not blue as I felt that there’s enough
blue on the page. Also, bebas is big and easy to
read so the consumer can easily navigate
throughout the magazine.
I spaced out the articles a bit more because they
were quite random . I also added some festival
logos to the bottom of the page to show what was
in the magazine. I like the balance of images and
text as the images make the page eye-catching
and engaging for the consumer. It also reflects the
research I did of NME and Q as they do something
similar but with more images and as I didn’t take
that many photos I had to compromise.
I neatened out the spaces between the articles and
tittles as they weren’t in line before and some areas
had more space than others, which made the page
look unprofessional. This is my nearly finished contents
page as I want to ask others what they think of it.

3. This is my contents page after my
audience feed back. They said that
they really liked it but there were a
few empty spaces and conventions like
a page number at the bottom of the
contents page, information next to the
images as they felt that the lack of
space didn’t look nice., so I added a
quote from Kathryn and infromation fo
‘Who’s under the bag’?Also, they felt
that the contents page didn’t offer
enough information about the
articles, which made it look boring, so
I added more information
