Contents Page - Construction

I first made my background white and then placed a rectangular grey box on the left side on my page







To do so i went to do so i clicked on the rectangular tool on the side of my page and then placed it on my page







I then needed to draw on several more boxes/rectangles but with in differenct colours. So after i drew my rectangle i clicked on the paint tool and then selected what colour i wanted for my box. I picked green as this is what i planned in my contents page planning.




After i needed to add in an image, i first tried copying and pasting the image but when it showed on the contents page it was in quite a low quality. So i went to place 'place' and then imported my image/images from there.

When i finished importing my image i found that it did not stand out as well as i wanted it to so i went to 'layer'-'layer style'-'drop shadow' to add the drop shadow effect to it.
I then had to add text as a contents page is not a contents page with out it. So i clicked on the text box tool and drew a box and typed out my text.






Whenn i wanted to change the colour of my text i went i had to higlight the text the click on the 'paint' tool. I then chose the color i wanted and then double clicked outside the box.






For more effect i decided to add a drop shadow to my headings so the stand out more.So i clicked on the text box and then went to 'layer'-'layerstyle'-'drop shadow' and then clicked ok to add drop shadow to my text.





Here is my contents page after addding two heading, two imagae and some text.







Here i decided to add one more box at the top, i then filled it in black with the paint tool. I also added text to the box.







 I needed my contents page to look very informative but at the same time attractive. So that meant i would need everything on my page to be balanced from the image to the text. I followed my plan to insert the featues i was going to include in my contents page.





Here i s my final product for my contents page. I added alot more texta and made sure that not too much colour was added to the page. I also added the magazine logo through 'place' for identity and branding.
