Contents Page Of My Magazine 'Clique'

My contents page again was trying to replicate the style of the 'XXL' magazine. You might be wondering why I haven't started with page number 1 and why they are all random numbers. Well the 'XXL' has three contents pages one called the 'A side', one called the 'B side' and lastly one called the 'C side'. They are ranked in importance and the best story's get on the A-side and they are ranked downwards. I called mine the 'T-side' which translates to the 'tittle side' which has all the main big tittles and article story's on.

I used the same font for the word 'The T-Side' as the masthead and the same colour again to keep with our font and colour scheme. I created the banner with the word 'features' and the date. I did this by using the rectangle tool and filled the box in black. For the photo I erased both backgrounds and altered the contrast to give the back wall a complete white background. As a requirement of the AQA board they wanted at least four images. So although the 'XXL' only had one photo, I managed to cut both of the pictures up and stick them on this white background, almost making it look like one picture. However in fact its 2 which means I have used FOUR pictures.

I altered both photographs as well by making them brighter to make them look a little it more appealing and not just quick camera shots. Lastly the fonts I used the same font as on the article which was Adobe Garamond but made it size 14pt. Also I made the names of each artists to a size 15pt just so they stood out more and people were drawn to the names just like artists would want in a real magazine. The quote in the middle of the picture is of the artist on the right, I did this quote as the 'XXL' on every contents page had a quote from one of the hip hop artists.
