Magazine contents layout decisions
This is the process of how I constructed my magazine contents and the decisions that I made for the layout. Hope you enjoy!

The first thing that I did was add my title. I did this by copy and pasting it from a website and stretching it to fit the top. The font I used is called Babas Neue Bold and I copied the layer style from my front cover masthead and pasted it into the layer where it said contents so its the same as my front cover.

The next thing that I did was added all of my pictures in the position that was on my flat plan. Then I decided to add a stroke to the images which meant that it added a black outline. And I think that it added a nice touch to it and made the picture stand out.

The next thing that I did was add a rectangle box and I used the colour picker and I used it to get the colour from the title to colour the box. Then I added a text box and used the font of Myriad Pro for the title. And I used the colour black for it as well..
I also added circle graphics. I did this so that I can add the page numbers in it after and it looked very nice.

I decided that the rectangle box didn't look very appealing so I thought that I would take it away. Then I thought that the black circle graphics didn't look that nice so I made the colour of it the same as it was on my front cover.

Later I decided that the circle graphics were too small. So this meant that I had to increase the size. And I thought that it looked nice and it would mean that the numbers that I would put it in would be seen clearly.
Another thing that I did was make the top stories text bigger so that it would fill the blank space and would look fuller.

Another thing that I did was add numbers on the images. I put numbers in spaces where it was plain so it would be easily readable.
The next thing that I did was add numbers in the circle graphics and aligned it so they were in the centre.

After I put the number on the contents page I decided to put the headlines and stories. I used the font of tw cen MT Condensed extra bold and I wrote the text in black to match what I did on my front cover.

Finally I decided to add a graphic and then I added text in it with the font of Minion Pro. The reason I did this was because I thought that it finished the empty space which made it look overall more full.
