I have now designed the contents page for my school magazine on the computer. I particularly like the school logo in the top left hand corner, I think it gives it a sense of professionalism. I decided to add this, despite it not being on my plan, because I feel this creates a theme throughout the magazine and highlights the fact its a school magazine. The articles on the contents page will all be articles in the magazine. I made sure they would be articles that pupils could relate to. For example; the school production article would be something pupils could be interested in as it is something going on in their surroundings. The aim of the articles is to make students feel they are up to date with the events taking place in their school even if they do not take part in it.
I made this page on a blank word document. I cut and paste the school logo in and then added the word 'contents' to make it clear what page this is. I then made three boxes as a outline to where i would put my images and then a larger rectangular shape where i would later write the article issues included in this magazine. I added the three images into the boxes and used a text box to write the page number of the article the image relates to. I then added text into the larger rectangular box stating all the articles and page numbers of the articles included in this issue.
When I come to make my music magazine I will take into consideration all the typical conventions we expect to see in a contents page. For example; editor's notes, a theme running throughout the magazine and images relating to the front page article headlines. I shall then apply this to my own magazine.
