Content construction

First I started off with a black background, same with the cover as this is a good colour to have for the background because it connotes death and rock.

Next I made a white rectangle to go over the black background; this was because I was planning on red and black fonts. Then I created a red rectangle to go in to the top left, this was where the word ‘Contents’ was going to go.

Next I added the features. The features are what are going to be in the magazine, and it is good to give the reader some hints to what is going to be in the magazine. I gave 4-6 features; this is a good number to give so that I don’t give away everything that is going to be in the magazine.

Next I put on the title of the magazine, I went onto my cover and got the masthead from that and put it onto my contents page, and this is to tell the reader that it is the same magazine. Then I put on the word ‘Contents’, this is to tell the readers that they are on the contents page. I used the colour white on the red background so that it will be easy for the readers to see it as it stands out.

Finally, I added a date to the page so they can see what magazine they are reading. After that I had to put the images on. I took good quality images so that they look clear and the readers can see the image. I added a few images as it is a common convention to have a few images on the contents page. Then I gave number so that the readers know what page these pictures are from so they can get an idea of what the image means and the meaning behind it. Then it was complete and I was happy with what I produced.
