Before I began constructing my contents page, I created a quick template to help me along the way. I used Adobe InDesign to create my contents page because it has all the appropriate tools to help me create it successfully.

I put in a column to divide my contents page into two parts. One side would be used for images and the other side would be used for text.

I divided the contents list into different sections by using subheadings. This will help readers to allocate the articles they want to read first. It also makes the page look my professional and neater. I put boxes in this column to help me

know were to place the images. It also gives me a vague idea of how the contents page will look like with the images.

I decided to put a border underneath the page title. I think this makes it stand out more

These are all the images I want to incorporate into my contents page. I've chosen to use five images because I

think that it is more than enough to use for a contents page. All these images relate to my target audience because all

the people in the images are all roughly the same age. They all have the same “swag” and they are all on the streets.

I used this shape tool to help me create borders for all my subtitles. I decided to make the borders black so it can match with the border of the page title.

I sharpened my image on Adobe Photoshop using the sharpen tool. This made a big difference too my image because it made everything in the image seem more clearer and professional. The sharpen tool also brought out the image more.

I created this idea of making my images on my contents page fit the shape of a triangle. This gives it that edgy, urban because it breaks the conventions of having just normal images on a contents page.

First of all, I placed the image on the page in InDesign. I double clicked it in order for me to adjust the size of it

I then used the direct selection tool to change the shape of the outside border of the image. This tool allowed me to change the shape of the image into a triangle.

I decided to insert a subscription box into my contents page. This is because it is a typical convention of a contents page and I needed something to be in the extra space. I included the icons of popular social networks such as twitter and Facebook. This will attract my target audience because they are familiar to these icons. It will also make them want to subscribe because they will know of a easier and simpler way to subscribe.

I created the box by using the rectangle tool on InDesign. I had to ensure that the box was placed within the grid in order for it not to look disordered.

I wanted the word “subscribe ” to be in the stencil font. This is because it makes it seem urgent to subscribe to.

This is the outcome of my contents page so far. I’ve included all what I’ve researched and I’ve included some basic conventions of a contents page. The colour scheme is yellow and black to replicate the colours of the roads. I’ve included six images and a lot of information.
