In this stage of creating my front page I have inserted some text. I have also decided that I needed to add a colour to my front covers theme so I have chosen to use purple and white as the colours of my theme. I have chosen purple because it goes very well with grey and is a suttle sort of colour.

Next stage

This is the next stage that I have done on my ront page. I decided that the white background didnt look good. So I changed it to a grey because my magazine theme seems to be grey at the moment.

First attempt of my front cover

This is the first draft of my front page of my magazine. i have cut the surroundings out of this image and just left the artist in the middle.

I also have the masthead on the top of the front page, and the strap line underneath the masthead. The strap line is what the initials of the magazine.

original photograpghy

Here are all of the original photography that i have taken for both my front page and my contents page.

Pre Lim task contents page

This is the contents page for my pre lim task. This is a contents page for a sports magazine for my school.

I have had ideas from people because i did some research and asked people what the main sports for our school is and what colours they represent our school. i have based my contents page on what people have said.

Doing this task has helped me get used to using photo shop and has made me aware of what has to be put on a contents page. This has made it better for me because when i have to make my contents page for my music magazine i will be able to understand what to easier and i will be more familiar with the program photo shop so i will be able to a really good contents page.

This is a contents page taken from a man lifestyle magazine.

Compared to the women's lifestyle magazine contents page, this contents page has several images on it. This is done because this contents page doesn't have headings so they use pictures to help inform the customer what is in the magazine without actually saying what is in the magazine.

They use large page numbers so people can easily see what page they need to go to to get the specific items that they want to read in the magazine.

The use of the very bold heading '100% useful' is because then customers will believe and think that everything that people need to read is in this magazine and is completely useful for men's everyday life. It also makes people trust the magazine because then they will believe everything that is written in it.

Although there are no headings to say what articles are in each section of the magazine. Some of the magazine is broken up into sections by different colored lines. This is good because people know without headings what items are on similar topics and what items are in similar categories of the magazine.

This is a content page of a magazine called ELLE magazine. The magazine has a content of People, Features, Report, Insight, Fashion, Looks, Travel, Cuisine and Elle-Ments.

The main coulour of this magazine is red. They have matched the masthead colour and the main headings colour to show that the magazine has a theme.

The magazine has a very simple content page. This is good because the magazine is simple its a women's lifestyle magazine and thats what it is, its not fussy. the main focus of the contents page is the two pictures of the girls. both the gilrs used on the content page are very glamourous. this helps entice people into reading the magazine because people will belive that they may be able to look like the mdoels on the content page.

Also under the masthead is the date of when the issue was printed. This reassures the customer that the issue they are reading is current to the fashion and people scene.
