Part 1

Step 1

• I used a black background to keep with the house style of the magazine.

• I also used part of a font design I made (posted on blog) and included it in both contents pages.

Step 2

• I used the same font as the front covers’ “Music Of 2010” to also continue the house style. This font style is more rock than pop, but the colours make it seem like a pop magazine.

Step 3

• I then started to add three curves to display the pictures and captions of the main articles.

• The three gradient colours are going to be consistent in both pages of the contents page. They also go very well against the black background, this will help to bring out the images on the page when I put them in.

Step 4

• I have used the boxes to hold the images on the curves.

• The gradient used is the same style as the masthead which also helps to establish the house style.

Step 5• Then I added the images for the three main

articles.

• The first image is a picture of my album cover with me in front of it. The image of me has been adjusted with high pass and a higher contrast to make it sharper and more colourful.

• The second image is a picture of an electric box, which relates to the article. I changed the hue/saturation of the image to make the sky orange. This makes it blend with the curve.

• The third image is a picture of a thumbs up and thumbs down witch relates to article again. The yellow and red indicate the heaven and hell of music ratings, whereas the blue flames in the background make it seem mystical, again linking to the heaven and hell aspects.

Step 6

• Now I have started to add the captions and page numbers to the pictures.

• The blue gradient of the font shows that these are the main articles.

• The yellow and red match the images hands to show which hand is what.

• Heaven = Yellow = Rate It!

• Hell = Red = Hate It!

Step 7

• This is the first finished contents page that I have done.

• All of the text has been completed using the blue gradient font to show that these articles are important.

• I have also changed the blue curve to green because the blue was too strong, it was also difficult to see the text in front of it.

Part 2

Step 1

• Again I have used the same font and background design. This also contributes to the house style.

Step 2

• I have now started to add the sub-headings of the contents page. The colours of the boxes correspond with the first contents page. These blend into the background to give a better effect.

Step 3

• The sub-heading font is also the same as the ‘Contents’ font. This also helps to contribute to the house style of the magazine.

• It seems as if the font is cut out of the squares, this makes the contents page seem more interesting.

Step 4

• Then I added the Page Numbers and text to the contents page.

• The orange text is the same as the front cover, also consisting with the house style.

• Each section has chronological page numbers

Step 5

• Now the contents pages are complete, on this step I have added part of the masthead to the contents page, this also helps to create interest. It also helps to consist with the house style.
