Transcript of Analysis of front cover and contents

My contents pageThe first thing I done was section my page into 3 columns, this follows the codes and conventions of a contents page

I then put the word ‘contents’ onto the page, at the top left were its supposed to be.

I split my contents into headings. Regulars are articles just in this issue. Whereas features are what's in every issue.

The writing went from left to right.

I uploaded 3 pictures to my contents page, this makes them match with the articles.

I had captions for my pictures so the readers know what they are about.

I opened a new programme on Photoshop then opened another box for the main image. Then I imported the picture and cropped it so it fit

perfectly.

I then added my mast head of ‘pupil’, this is the same of my school magazine, I made sure the font was unique and it contrasted against

the image background.

I then added the main article quote and also the story. It ties in with the picture so people know they go together. I also made sure the colour of

the font was different from the rest of the fonts on the magazine.

I then added the issue date and issue number. I positioned it around the mast head which is were its supposed to be

according to the codes and conventions.

On the left hand side of the magazine I added my first article and its cover line. The colours contract against the blue background so

they stand out.

Underneath I added my second article that will be inside the magazine. This is in the same font and colour as the other to attract

the audiences attention.

I then added the 3rd article and cover line. When I was positioning this I made sure it did not cover or overlap

onto the face of the person in the image.

I added the final article and coverline to the right hand side of the image. Although the font is still red and its up

against a red background you can still see it, and it still stands out.

I then added the text box at the bottom of the screen and added writing on top of that. I chose to fill the box the same

colour as my mast head so the colours all tie in together. The writing inside the box is black so it stands out to the

readers.
