The first thing I to do was open up the software Quark and select/create the correct page for me to work on in order to create my contents page.

Then I used to insert picture box tool to draw a box, fitted to a certain part of the page, and insert an image into the space from the photographs I had taken for the task.

When inserting text I had to type it up into a Microsoft Word document first before putting it straight onto my page. I wouldn’t use any bold fonts, colours or sizes yet because the typography of text could be edited better once I had inserted the text from the Word document onto my contents page.

Here I started to create and edit the main heading for my contents page. I experimented with a range of fonts, sizes and colours to find the right one that I thought suited my magazine best.

By this point, I began to add more detail onto my contents page to make it look more authentic.

I used different bold colours that I would like as my colour scheme and used them in certain areas of my work. I also added in more images to fill some of the space on my contents page so that it didn’t look too boring being filled with all words and magazine content.

This is the final result of what my School Magazine Contents Page looked like after working on it in my media lessons, using the professional software, Quark.
