Stages of creating my Contents page

The first thing I did when creating my contents page was to separate the page into 3 sections, I did the by going to; View – show – grid, this brings up a grid on the page allowing you to draw lines with equal spacing on the page.

 From there I drew two lines down the page equidistant apart.

I then added the first photo to my contents page og two of my models, a quick crop and then i dragged it onto my contents page. I simply then added a black boarder to the edge of the contents page.

I then added the first text on the page using the text box tool, from there i added the majority of the text on the contents page, as i had the column line set in place it was quite simple to add the text to the page.

I then added another photo to the contents page, this was a photo form the front cover to relate to the cover lines on the front cover for that article, i just made a copy of the image on the front cover than dragged it onto my contents page. I then added a small OTR logo in the bottom left corner of the page to make sure that that the reader is going to know that this contents is from OTR magazine.

I then started adding the main articles down the left hand side of the page along with the images relating to them as it seemed most appropriate.

I decided on adding a poster to advertise the 'subscription' to the magazine
