Progress So Far (Music Magazine Contents Page) - 13/04/2011

I managed to complete my contents page today - at the start of the day, it looked like this:

My completed version looked like this:



Firstly, I placed a smaller image of the front cover of my music magazine in the top left-hand corner to use as a promotion for buying a subscription to CORE. I then used the 'Horizontal Type Tool' to draw a text box and write "GET CORE DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO YOU FOR ONLY £5 PER MONTH! CALL 0151 563 2309 NOW" in the font Myriad Pro, Bold, 20pt, Strong, alligned to the left of its text box and black in colour. After that, I used the 'Rectangle Tool' to draw yellow rectangles behind this promotion to make it stand out from the rest of the page. Next, I drew another text box and typed "TURN TO PAGE 60 FOR A CHANCE TO WIN TWO TICKETS TO SEE GREEN DAY LIVE!" in the same font, size and colour and placed yellow rectangles behind the text again to make it stand out - but this time, I also drew a white rectangle and placed it behind the word "WIN" to make it stand out from the other text and draw the readers eye when they see a chance to win tickets for free.
