Constructing my Content

 When Starting to make my contents page I started by drawing up a design by hand so I knew exactly how I wanted to make mine. To start with I had this black line going straight through the middle of the page separating the top from the bottom. On this black box I included the masthead and some other text which was in White and Yellow, al three colours used so far are also used on my cover and follow the colour pallet very well.

I then added in my main photo for my contents page. This was a photo of the main protagonist who was also used on the cover and double page spread. This photo is a portrait of the main protagonist with an urban background.

I then moved on by butting in another black box but this time on the top left on the contents page. On top of that black box I put in the word 'contents' along with other useful information you may find on a contents page. This colour was all in yellow. The font I used also matched the background of the photo.
 I then started to add in my content. I did this by writing it all up in a word document and then copy and pasting it over. I put my text is columns  with the page summer beside all of the stories.
 After adding all my text in I left a few gaps so I can input some photos. All the content here is from the stories I used on my cover. I used black text as this went into my colour pallet and also was clearly visible from the white background.
 I also thought I should add in a subscription box so I followed the common codes and conventions of how I made this contents page so far. I made a big black box covering all the left over space in the bottom right hand corner. I then built it up with yellow text on top as not only did this follow my colour pallet but it really stood out from the black.



I then put a copy of my cover inside the subscription box and added in more text in a yellow font. I also added in the page number for the main photo. I was also very happy with my contents page as It came out exactly how I planned it too.
