CONTENTS PAGE SCREENSHOTS

First of all, I created my title for my contents page on dafont.com and placed it across the top of my page, following conventions. I also included the name of my magazine in large, transparent font to act as a background. This will give a brand to my magazine and will constantly remind the reader of the magazine name, making it memorable

After this, I created my contents list as I think this is one of the most important features of a contents page as it helps the readers find the page they would like to read. I created sub-headings to refine the search for my readers, and created the page numbers in a different style, size, and colour font compared to the rest of the writing. This was to make it clear which pages have the main articles/information on them

The next two features I placed on my page were the editorial, and the weekly ‘Icon’ competition. I also placed behind these a box background to fill in the white space and make the page look more interesting and inviting. I placed the editorial near the top of the page as it is the first personal piece of writing from the editor, and this is important for the readers as it creates a connection between the magazine and the audience. I placed ‘Icon Image’ underneath my contents list as it is a competition, and ‘Competitions’ is one of my sub-headings. However, I made it clear that this was an individual competition by making the sub-heading background pink instead of black like the rest.

The two blurred-edge black boxes underneath my editorial are the backgrounds for my images which will make a border for them. I have created a background for my images to make a more neat and professional appearance, rather than just placing them on a plain white background.

After placing my images on their backgrounds, I placed their page numbers beside them which also appear in the contents list. This gives them a preview of who the article is about. I also inserted a quote next to my main image which also gives them a preview of what the article is about.

The final feature I created for my contents page was the picture of the editor. I did this to work along side the editorial to further create a connection between the magazine and the audience. The editorial includes pronouns such as ‘you’ which implies it is personal to them, and the picture works with this to let the reader see who is saying this.
