For my contents page I first cut out images that I had taken on photoshop to later on use. To do this I used the magnetic lasso tool roughly cut out the image to remove of the background.
I then used the quick selection tool to crop around any uneven parts of the hair etc, to make the image seem more natural and seamless. However to improve this next time I can be more accurate with cutting around the image to make sure the images are smooth.
I also did this to other images I wanted to include on my contents page. I then used InDesign to start to create my contents page.
To start my contents page I made three columns so it looked neat and easy to read. I then titled the page with 'In this issue' stating to the audience that this is where you can find out what is in this month's issue. I then added the page numbers to short headings, so the audience will know what pages contain what. The short captions are there to give a brief idea of what is on the page and if they are interested they will read the longer description under the heading to decide if they want to read that article or not. I used the font 714 Shree Dengeree, I made the headings bigger and in a different colour (blue to fit in with the colour scheme) to catch the audience's attention.
I then added the images I had cropped to the middle and end column to add interest to the page but to also indicate to the audience the types of images and subjects that will be included within an article. To make sure they look at the right image for the article I have numbered the images with the corresponding pages.
