Contents Page Part 2

This is the process of my content page from working on it today.

  • As you can see I've started added the front cover storylines to my features column. I have added the title, but have left room for a description underneath which I will have to add in.
  • I have started adding page numbers, I like the idea of the yellow box as it adds to the colour scheme and acts as a bullet point, which makes it stand out and clear to read. I also liked the idea of it being larger than the font to make it stand out and easy for the reader to navigate around the magazine.
  • I have changed the font due to issues when trying to edit the previous font and have also changed the position, moving it to the centre of the page. I think this makes it clearer and also gives me room to add something else on the left.
                           

  •  Here I have added the large image I wanted in this space. It is a photo of the Disneyland Paris castle as one of my articles are on Disneyland Paris. In the top right hand corner I have added the page number.
  • I have also changed the font of the title to the font that I have been using as the font throughout the magazine because I still didn't like the fancy, curvy font I have used on the cover. I like this much better and it still fits as it matches the other text.
  • I have also added a QR code and a little message that says 'snap the QR code and visit our website.' This is often featured in magazines and means a smartphone user can quickly and easily get to the magazine's website if they want to.

 
  • The other storylines have started to be added on the second page of the contents along with the page numbers. At the minute I don't want to include a description with these storylines, like on the features side, however, this may change as I continue working on my contents page.
