AS - Preliminary Task. (Contents explanation 3)

I then added my pictures to the opposite end of the page. They weren't all the same size at first so instead of applying the same sized crop to them I added two rectangles of the same base color to two more layers and then moved those particular layers above from the 3 layers on which the pictures were kept.
When doing my final task I will make it a point to keep the size of my pictures uniform when initially post-processing them.

Then I started to write my text 'Contents' on the side of the page in a font depicting Autumn. My inspiration for this is attached below. However I added my own twist to it and instead of rotating the text I typed it simply vertically.

I kept the base color uniform throughout both of my pages for the magazine because I like it when magazines are uniform and tend to stick to one color scheme. I also used the same colors for my text.

Here is the final contents page of my preliminary task. I will be explaining it further in parts in the following posts.

Here is a screenshot of the initial stages of my preliminary task's contents page.

Here are my inspirations for my preliminary task contents page. What I liked about these was the fact that they are very aligned and composed.

The first one has CONTENTS written at one side inside of right in the middle! And the other has the pictures on one side.I am incorporating both of these in my contents page.

The issue states that is issue 45 hence giving the reader a feeling that this has already been around campus for some while and hence might be worth going through. It is also an autumn issue which gives a feeling that it a seasonal magazine and is not something which comes out monthly and has nothing of value in it.

I also applied a footer to the cover since I think it gives a more completed look the the magazine and then added a 2-D bar-code on top. I used this particular bar-code and not the usual old style bar-code because this shows that the magazine is advancing with the world. The footer gives the reader a glimpse of what's inside i.e.. exams, competitions and fashion.

This is the 'splash', it promotes something using graphics. In this case it's 'TOP 10 STUDY APP'S'. i chose his particular line since world-over almost every other college student uses smartphones, hence using app's at the same time.
What more could a student want? An app which helps him/her to study, that is the perfect solution to our hectic study routines in which we somehow manage to waste hours on our phones doing absolutely nothing productive.

I then started to add various strap-lines/ sub-feature headlines along with the main headline being '101 ways to spend your fall break'.
I chose this specific main headline because it is an autumn issue as already previously stated and it automatically clicks to the college-going reader because everyone wants to do something new in their breaks after a long tiring semester. However I feel as if this text should have been slightly bigger than it is now.
I also added various other catchy strap-lines for e.g how to make money, upcoming events etc.
