Planning - Table of Contents Template

The template for the Table of Contents also derives many of its features from other sports magazines. In the top right is the title for the page, which will help to distinguish that this is the Table of Contents. The name will either remain as Table of Contents, or something that will be able to be noticeable as the the Table of Contents. In this template the articles are listed vertically, with the features in bold since they typically the most important. Hence the name, 'feature'. The articles will  be listed numerically based on their page number. The first pages at the top, to the last at the bottom. Beneath the article titles are their page numbers. The font used for the page number is meant to resemble the numbers on jerseys for players in all sports. This aids to make the magazine fit into its theme, sports. On the right is white space which will be used for pictures. These pictures will be for the features. They will correspond to the order that the features are listed within the list of article titles.

This means that who ever passes the sign, now is aware of the brand itself. This is how they gain majority of their exposure for the magazine and is overall a good tactic.

Creative Critical Reflection #3 Draft

My production skills definitely became better during this project. I learned to use new Adobe software, such as InDesign. Having previous experience with Adobe programs, such as Photoshop, helped make the process an easier task, but I had to learn some new techniques in order to fit the conventions of other sports magazines. For instance, learning to justify text and place them in a certain layout that fits that of a magazine. Or, learning to export certain at certain resolutions so that the magazine is of high quality. Another production skill that was improved was communication. Since this was a group project, communication was one of our biggest factors in creating our magazine. I had to learn to work with the group to take everyone's ideas and come up with an overall plan that would incorporate everything we had come up with. Also, learning to work as a journalist. The process of creating an article and learning to gather information so I could write about my topic was new to m...
