2. Firstly I went on InDesign and made an made an A4 sheet then using
the shape for the boxes I outlined where each of the pictures, texts and
the headline will be with the guideline of my contents page mock up.
3. To make the headline:
1. Make a box the overlap a text box and write the ‘C’
2. The rotate the ‘C using the rotating tool
3. Then make a rectangle shape and overlap it with the remaining words
4. Then rotate it so that it joint at the side of the ‘c’ then do the same for
the rest of the words.
The use of the contents headline being displayed in that manner its looks
more attractive and unconventional. In the production of making the
headline into a simple black colour which is displayed at the top of the
page to standout.
4. •To help the navigation of the my contents page and
to make it look more sophisticated. The use of
borders were made around the page to separate the
cover lines.
•In the making of the cover lines, having stories
which attracted the audience as well as match my
cover lines were difficult to compress into the box.
•Using the illustration of the box that were made
before the designing of the page made it easier to
use a text tool and create the text instantly.
•After writing the text for the text to initially to
standout I used the borders and changed the colour
to purple which one of my magazine colour themes.
5. In Draft A after making the cover lines the
pictures had to be placed within the boxes.
• To place to the picture I simply went to file
and place then made the picture a particular
size so they can fit within the box. However one
of the picture could not be used due to the
visibility so I used another picture but cropped
the picture (second picture on the left) also the
main image on the which is in black or white
which I edited to make the model the main
focus and for the background not to take
precedence.
•In Draft B I have continued to make more
Draft A cover lines at the bottom instead of having the
Editors not take up so much space; when in
many gospel magazines there are a lot of cover
lines and not many pictures.
Draft B
6. Effects:
•One of the effects that have been
used mostly in my contents page is
stroke.
•Firstly I used the rectangle tool and
went on swatches and changed the
colour then with the use of the
gradient ( as shown).
•Then using the text tool I went on
wrote the word Features the using
the effect of stroke created the
outline of black to highlight the word
as I have also demonstrated on the
page numbers.
7. I have adapted the contents page
compared to before through the:
•Colour : I have the background colour
which is purple relating the back to the
initial theme colour of the magazine.
•Pictures/ Text: They have been
replaced in a lower position than to make
space for the Editors note. But still having
the same format.
•The Cover lines : I have added extra
cover lines at the side because when
making them the first time the looked
spaced out and it made the magazine
look empty because it did not have
enough stories.
•The initial cover lines: The cover lines
which have been placed in a box have
also been adapted with the use of the
effects to continue the pattern that has
been used for the numbers and Features.
During production because I removed the section for editors note
and changed to the section for features I still felt that having the
Editors note completes the contents with a short note on what the
reader will hopefully enjoy and expect within the magazine.
