Construction of Contents Page

I started the production process by producing the masthead of the contents page, I used the logo of the magazine brand itself in order to make it more recognisable. I had a general idea of where the text and images where going to be placed on the contents page so began adding the rectangles and circle using the shape tool for the page numbers to go in.

I then added the page numbers using the text tool.

I then added the images into the contents page and aligned them so that they looked professional against the previously added page numbers.

I then added the feature stories in my magazine and also the issue number in the circle at the top. I added a smaller version of my cover page in the bottom left hand corner with accompanying information in the black at the bottom regarding subscription rates as this was a common conventions in not just indie/alternative music magazines, but magazines in general.

I then added the conform logo in the empty space I had on the contents page as I wanted to reduce the amount of dead space on the page so that the magazine looks professional and interesting.
