Preliminary Project (contents page)

This is the contents page to my preliminary project.

The contents page took less time to create than my front cover as I had better knowledge of how to use programs such as publisher and fireworks. I also had more ideas on the colour and fonts I would be using.

I created this document in publisher, however I did create certain items in fireworks such as the title. For my final project I think I will be using fireworks as it has better features and I have now had more experience using it.

Images: I have only used two basic images on my contents page. I think i could have improved the page if I had used more pictures which had related to the articles featured. I did not do any editing of these pictures as I wanted them to look natural. For my final project it is likely I will need to do quite a lot of editing to create the image I need.
On the background of the contents page I used a blue “fire” image which I downloaded from the internet, I think this has given the contents page a more professional and unique look. I am considering using a similar image on my final project.


Colours and fonts: I have used a colour scheme of blue and white as I think they work well together and they also link with the blue used on the school’s logo. The fonts I have used are basic and are easy to read by the audience however I think it would have looked better if I had used a different font as the text in the boxes looks very plain.

Layout: I have used a conventional layout for my contents page with the title at the top of the page and the articles down the left hand side. I think the layout works well for a school magazine as it is easy to process the information, however for my music magazine I think I will be using a more unique layout.
