This is my final product; like my front page I gathered up all my useful research in order to create an ideal contents page that would suit the overall style and content of this school magazine. I wanted the layout to be something fairly simple, as it is supposed to be a page that readers can refer to if they want a specific page that takes heir interest when reading it off the front cover or the contents; therefore, this was my aim to create a simple yet bright, bold and interesting product.
I began with using; alike the front page , Adobe Photoshop with the selected of image of mine, to manipulate and correct any faults or blemishes that appeared within the picture. I successfully did this and exported too as a JPEG and started creating my contents page in InDesign. However, instead of using the image as the entire background I only wanted it as a side image, keeping with the same model and theme of primary education however, changing the setting slightly and being outside on the grass. When I placed this picture I purposely flipped the picture horizontally so that he is almost looking up towards the reader as, the image is making eye contact therefore, drawing them in, when previously he was looking away. I incorporated the rule of thirds into my contents page, so that everything is well laid out. This is more apparent as I have used a blue border continuing from the title into the image and then having the column along the left hand side. I tried to stick to a colour scheme so the page doesn't seem too over bearing with colours. I finally added a few extra images related to the exclusive page all in order to create that feel of that the reader is still reading a primary school magazine and to add a sense of fun and childlike characteristics, especially with some of the sans font and cartoon books.
Overall I feel that like the front page the simplicity of this page makes it more effective and has continuity from the front page to the contents page which I think is extremely important, its clear, informative and again maintains that 'child friendly' feel to it.
