Screenshots of my contents page

I decided to write the word contents at the top of the page
because it is in almost all magazines. Either this or ‘this
week/month’ is commonly used. I found out through research
that most magazines have this in the centre at the top of the
page so I decided to put it in the centre. I did all of this using
the text box tool and the bottom tool bar to centre the word.

I put the image of my front cover on my contents page because this is
commonly used on normal contents pages of music magazines. I wrote the
page numbers by the stories on the front cover as a quick guide for people
that have read the stories on the front cover and would like to continue with
the rest of the article. They can then just look at the number and flick to the
page they want to see.

I have also included the editors letter on my contents page. On
magazines that are published and circulated they have the editors letter
in every issue. I used the insert image and the insert text tool to do this.
The editors letter makes the magazine look more professional overall.

I wrote the stories that were
going to be in my magazine
and the page numbers that
they were on. I did this using
the text box tool on Quark and
then I used the linking tool to
move text over to more than
one column. Columns are
always used in magazines so
this tool was very helpful.

I added in some
images using the
picture box tool and
then kept rearranging
them until I decided
properly where I
wanted them to go. I
made sure that I
added text boxes by
these pictures so the
stories I would put by
them would definitely
fit next to the picture
that was relevant.

I then changed the columns around and sorted the
stories into two sections: ‘Features’ and ‘Regulars’.
Through research of different magazines in the
industry now I have found that a lot of magazines have
done this. It makes my magazine look more
professional and like magazines that are published
now.

I changed the title of the page to have a black background. I
used the shape tool to do this and then brought the text
forward to sit over the shape. I made the shape black because
it would make the title stand out and it is one of the colours in
my colour scheme to fit with the genre of music my magazine
is about.

This is my image of my main task
contents page. I included a contact
us section where the readers of
the magazine could get in touch
with anyone from the magazine. I
made the heading ‘contact us’ in
the same colour and font as
‘Features’ and ‘Regulars’ as it is
another section of the magazine. I
also took some of the images off
the page because there was not
enough room.

I moved the title contents to the
side to add the title of my
magazine onto the page. I
changed the image of my front
cover in the corner of the page
because I had changed it to
make it better. I then put a black
background behind all of the
headings to match the title. This
fit in with the genre of music I
am making this magazine about.
I changed the headings to red as
there was not enough of this
colour on the page and it is one
of the three colours in my colour
scheme. I changed the page
numbers by each story so that
there would be over 100 pages. I
also made the headline of each
story a line above the
description of the story.
