Research and Planning: Preliminary Task, Contents Page.

Contents


To do my contents i used Indesign. I decided i wanted to have 2 columns, to do this i clicked on layout, create guides and typed in how many i wanted.


I then wanted to to change the colour of my background, to do this i clicked on the rectangle box on my tool bar and then clicked on one corner of my page to the bottom opposite, i then clicked on what colour i wanted.


After this i typed out my contents. I decided to do this in all star font and in yellow size 48pt. After this i wanted a photo so i clicked on file, place, found my picture and then drag and dropped it onto my contents page.


Then i started writing out my page numbers in yellow, then beside them i did snippets of information on what will be in the article in white.
After this i then decided to add more pictures in by doing the same as before.


Evaluation


The things i like about my contents is how i have carried on the 3 colour scheme from the front cover. I also like how i have carried on using the same font throughout. I also like how i have not crowded it too much with pictures and font.


I dislike how my picture of Hyde Clarendon sign is very big, i should of cut around the wording on the picture. If i had any smaller you wouldn't be able to see the writing on the picture. I also think that i shouldn't of used big spaces between my page numbers. I also think that the yellow page numbers are slightly too big and could be made smaller.


I think if i had made the gaps smaller for the page numbers i could of put more pictures in to describe the college. I should of also cropped the picture of the sign Hyde Clarendon so i didn't have as much background in the picture.

Audience interview:  Keisha Hughes.

Q. What do you like about my contents page? 
A.    -  I like how you have carried on the colour scheme from the front cover.  I also like that you have got different pictures on there.  I like how you have also used the same font as on the front cover.

Q.  What do you dislike about my contents page?
A.    - I dislike how you have got big spacing inbetween page numbers.  If you made the spaces less you could space the picture out a little bit more because they look a little crowded. 

Q. Does it look like a college magazine, contents page? 
A.   - Yes, because of the font and the pictures which are used on the contents page.
