Preliminary Task: Contents Page

For the preliminary Task, I had to produce a Contents Page on paper of what my actual one would look like. I used the same font from the Front cover and kept the colours quite patriotic (Red, White and Blue) but also because it is the main colours of ‘The Douay Martyrs School’. I followed the conventions in order to make it effective: 50% image to text ratio. I used a large feature photo and 2 other images relating to the articles that they were placed near (e.g. a Golf ball and club next to the feature ‘Sport’) to keep readers interested. Other things I included were the date, title, feature subtitles and text and website. One convention I included that can be seen in some magazines is ‘Editor’s Message’ which is a short introduction to the issue. It allows the magazine to feel more personal and builds a relationship with the Editor and reader.
