Process on creating contents page
- 1. Process of creating contest page
- 2. I used a plain grey background so the features on the contents page would stand out more as well as the images of the artist’s. The heading contents is white and has a black outline to it, I done this with the blending tool, using outer glow this helps the readers to have a clear idea on the layout of the magazine clearly indicating contents page.
- 3. For the contents page I wanted to have a variety of images, having the main image on a higher point showing its importance. I also chose to have an image of the cover as it is a typical convention for a hip hop magazine, the front cover allows the reader to relate back to the front cover. The images all of a border around them I done this as it would have a clear separation on the contents page allowing everything to be in place and not chaotic.
- 4. So that readers were able to get a clear difference of what features they are in the magazine I added different headings mentioning many different features in the magazine. There is a clear difference of each heading ass each one has a main heading which then goes to a sub heading, under each sub heading there is some information on the feature which is a typical convention seen in many contents pages, another typical convention would be the idea of a subscription offer. Editors review was also given in which the editor lets the reader learn a bit more about the magazine.
- 5. For the final draft of the contest page I added numbers with the images as this is a typical convention on magazines. Due to there being empty gap at the bottom I added in the web address of the magazine in many cases which is also seen to be a typical feature.
