Production – Screen Shots of Contents Page
Roughly every 10 minutes I took screen shots of my contents page to show its production and firstly I
placed my original image in on the page covering 2 thirds on the left side to work around.
I then edited the image changing the colours and curves; I also used a blur tool to put a blur effect
on the hand, increasing the opacity. I added the contents title, date and issue number, these all
stand out with bright colours in the black background. To blend in with the image background I
added a white text box just on top of the photo to make it blend in and wrote “This Week?” to make
the reader feel interested.
I then added my index column on the right 3rd being separated by a red. At the top of that section I
added my masthead from the front cover. I decided to colour some of the different words different
to differentiate the importance of what the article is about.
I then added page numbers; yellow with a border to stand out to the reader and show the
importance of them. I don’t like the font size of them or the style, which I could have changed by
making them smaller and more simple.
I felt the index column was lacking structure so I added some lines in under each article story to divid
them making them more clear to follow for the reader. I also added a main story underneath the
image aswel as a footer which is a common convention to have in contents pages.
After 10 minutes of thinking what to fill the bottom right corner with, I thought I’d add a subscribe
section.
