In this lesson we took screenshots of the making of our contents page.

1. I started QuarkXpress passport with
a blank start. After I was shown
how to use it, I started to make a
second page which is what I was
then going to start my contents
page planning. I then started to
insert picture boxes for the pictures
I was going to use in my contents
page.

2. As things started to progress when
using this software I eventually
started to edit my title for my
contents page “Music High”.
I did this by using the text box tool
and making a box to the size I
wanted it to be then editing the
colour of the background in the box
then typing up the name of my
School Magazine.

3. For this part after I got my title
typed in and edited for how I
wanted it I then started to work
on getting my picture placed in
how I planned them out on my
rough paper plan of it and
started to type in a rough
example of how I wanted my
contents page to be planned out.

4. Things are now starting to take
place with my contents page
and more columns are being
edited in with features of the
“Editors Letter” and more
articles that are in the magazine.

5. Here there has been an
“Exclusive” coverline added to
the contents page to signify
that there is a new article
featuring in the magazine to
make the reader/audience
aware that there is something
new and fun published in the
magazine.

6. As you can see I have then
used the text box tool to add
a section for the website for
people to visit the school’s
webpage and check things out
and see if they would either
like their children to go there
or if they’re curious about the
school.

7. I am very close to finishing my
contents page so I choose to
add another picture for more
fun and insight on what will be
published in the magazine and
if the audience/readers will be
interested in buying it.

8. I then inserted the picture
into the box I drawn to finish
off my contents page plan up.
I have made my contents
page so it is not only simple
to read and enjoy but it also
gives out an easy way to skip
to the parts you want to read
most.
