When creating my contents, I decided to take a section out of the photograph that was initially taken for my magazine cover. I selected a small, portrait area of a stack of books and enlarged it to form the background for my contents page. As for the text, I kept the 'Bradley Hand ITC' handwritten looking typeface as I feel that this particular font is extremely relevant to my audience. I also decided to keep the colour code running from the cover to the contents, as I included red, yellow and orange. I made a red heading, with yellow numbering and four orange lines bordering the image. The names of the articles and pages was written in black as the colour is also present on my cover and stood out against the background. I kept all of this text in lowercase to add to the rushed, handwritten look to it. I also underlined the title 'contents' with a free hand C.A.D spray paint tool using Adobe Photoshop CS2. The four orange lines were the finalising feature of the page, as it looked too empty before I inserted them and draws closure to the piece.
