Contents Page

Even though I did not have to create a contents page, I did one anyways because I had finished my front cover so quickly.

This shows my contents page. I used a variety of different techniques to get the effect I wanted. First I created the background. To do this I had to transfer an image from my phone to the mac mini by blue tooth. I had to click on the blue tooth symbol and click my phone then I had to search through to find the image I wanted, I then saved it in my images folder. I then placed the image into my InDesign document. Then I made the image slightly faded. To do this I had to decrease the opacity of the image. I reduced it to 49% because then it gave the effect I wanted. I then copied the masthead from my front cover. I then put it the text of 'What's happening this month...' I made the font colour white and the outline black and increased the weight to make it stand out. Next I created the fist article short 'Get Ready For Winter!' I downloaded a font to get the snowy effect. I then added a bit of information using the font Tahoma to match my front cover. Then I added two images both from my phone in the same way as before and gave the one of a lamppost a slight angle of tilt to add interest, I then did this to the article title as well. I then made the page numbers in two separate rectangles which make it more interesting then a normal square, I made it yellow to draw peoples eyes to it. The next two articles I used fonts that related to the text because it made it more interesting. To make the triangle I had to insert a rectangle than manipulate the sides to make the shape of a triangle. I kept all of the other page numbers with a background of yellow so it stood out and so where the articles are would be instantly reconisable. I also chose to make the word 'more' in yellow so it seems like the reader is getting a lot more for their money because even though this is not the cover the contents page should sell the magazine as well.
