PRODUCTION LOG

CONTENTS PAGE

I used the rectangle frame tool to create the box which I am going to place my title “Contents” and the corporate identity in. I intended to use the colour red on a grey background which is similar to the background on my front cover page but at the moment I think that the colours red and dark grey do not coordinate so I am going to think about what colours I should use instead of this sort of grey. If this doesn’t work out I will probably use a different colour for a box at the top of my page and keep the grey background if the colours coordinate successfully.

This is the grey background I have now decided to use as it is brighter and will work well with the red box on top. The background could also work well with the different colours I'm going to include and the black text would also be easier to read In the middle there is a straight line two

separate the two columns. I used the line tool to separate the columns so now I could think about where certain elements should be placed now that the page is set up for me to use.

The colour of this box is going to be black and would marked the words “What’s to come”

The supporting image of the D.O.N.S would be included in this box

This box will include the cover story which relates to the image containing the group D.O.N.S. The folio will also be includedThe second supporting image will include the group “cheetah girls” and this would also contain a folio

This box will include the heading marked “reviews” and the box colour will be black with text colour being white

This box is associated with the supporting image above and the story and folio will be filled in.

This box will contain the main image and the main cover story would sit on the image. A folio will be quite large so the reader would find it easy to navigate to.

The “features” will sit in this box and the colour of this box will be red to keep the colour coordination of red, grey black continuous

BOXES

This is the set-up of the colours I will be adopting for my contents page. The colours I intended to use grey, black and red has worked out to plan but the only difference is that I have lightened the colour grey so other colours could work well with and the text could be easier to read.

The boxes has now been filled in with the headings which will be followed up with the text and images associated. The top box consists of the headings “Contents” and the corporate identity “THE PAR”. The heading marked “CONTENTS” did not turn out how I intended it to be. I intended to make the heading be the largest piece of text on the page (which it is) but It is of a similar font size to the rest of the headings on the page. The dateline is also included in the box at the top. The contents page consists of the headings “What’s to come…” which in my statement of intent I wasn’t quite clear on the punctuation I would use at the end of the heading whether it’ll be a question mark or left without any punctuation, however at the end I decided to include an ellipse so that the reader would be able to know that anything beneath the heading is what to come. The “features” and “reviews” box are as exactly how I wanted it to be.

• I made the main font of my contents page be “impact” so that the level of consistency and seriousness could be shown throughout the contents page attracting my target audience as the font suits best to be read by a teenager or a young adult rather than a certain type of fancy fonts aimed at little children.

• Also, the “impact” font is the only font used on my front cover page so the corporate identity will be seen all through the front cover and contents page so this will be seen as consistent and “THE PAR’s” theme.

FONT TYPE

The contents page is bow filled with the list of features and the cover stories which are associated with the supporting images. The font of the features are “arial rounded” and is not “impact” because it is seen as less important features compared the main cover story I’m going to place on my main image and the cover stories which are labelling the supporting images. The folios on the features are red and are quite large to stand out and draws the readers attention since it signalises stop and danger and is distinct to black text used for the features.

• I have used the rectangle frame tool so I could create a red box to fill to sit underneath the reviews box and contain all key reviews which will be featured in this issue of THE PAR’s magazine.

• Now that I have made the reviews box red, more colour has been added to the contents page and will attract the readers attention even more since the page as gotten more alarming and attractive.

• The reviews box has been filled in and all the exclusive features are flagged with a folio which is clear to see and easy to read. The fonts which are used are “impact” and “arial rounded” which is surrounded by black strokes to make it stand out more.

Now everything in my contents page is designed, the only thing I’m lacking is the images I’ll be using which will occupy the three boxes where the circles are surrounding.

All the images are now inserted into the empty boxes. The main on the left will have a main cover story sitting on it and the supporting images are sitting beneath the “WHAT’S TO COME…” heading so they are both the stories which will be coming up in the article.

The contents page for the magazine has been completed and the cover story for the main image as been into place with the large folio supporting it. The only changes from my statement of intent I have made to my design is the colour of the background which is a a lighter grey than the grey I intended to use everything more-or-less worked out as planned
