This is my contents page that i have created using only Microsoft Publisher.
Microsoft Publisher
To create this contents page i have used Microsoft Publisher as it is an easier program to use than photoshop and it was easy to get a good result without the complicated tools of photoshop. To create this page i used several uses of the shape drawing tool which allowed me to get a black and white stripe effect down the side column of the page, and it allowed me to split up the rest of the page into different sections like the feature in the magazine, competition winner and editors overview of the magazine.
Use of images
The image that i have used on the contents page are one image that is already on my double page so that the pages link in with each other, the other images i have used are a picture of me, the editor and the other is an image of a girl with the lead singer out of a band called 'YASHIN'. In the main page of 'Amber Starrs' i hope to make the person in the image seem inviting, this will hopefully appeal to the target audience of males aged 16-35. the secondary audience of this magazine would be females aged 16-35 who may find the artist inspiring and may aspire to be like them. in the sub image for 'editors overview' i will change as it is giving a negative representation f myself as my facial expression isn't very happy. when i change this image i will hopefully create a positive representation for myself as will use an image where i am smiling rather than an image where i have a straight face. the image of the competition gives off a positive connotation of the magazine as the person in the image is clearly happy that they have 'won the competition' which is down to Amplify magazine.
Use Of Text & Colours
The colour that i have used in the contents page stick to the house style that i set within the other pages of my magazine as it sticks to the same colour pallet of red black and white. i chose to write contents in the way that i did due to the fact if i had written in its normal format it would not fit the layout that i had created for the page. i chose to use the same text as the masthead of the magazine to link the pages together, although i chose not to use the same colour scheme for the text as the masthead as i wanted to the masthead to stand out as a brand for the magazine. i included an 'editors overview' to give and insight as to what the magazine had to offer as it is new on the scene and people don't know what to expect from the magazine. i chose to include the 'cometition winner' on the contents page to let the readers know about the competition and the brilliant prizes that are on offer if they win. i chose to use a simple text that was simple and easy to read for all of the page so that readers could understand exactly what is inside of the magazine and so that pages can be easy allocated. i tried to limit the amount of text on the page as i didn't want to reader to be overwhelmed by the amount of text and then not read it so i had to compensate for the fact that people may skim read the contents page.
