This is my final contents page for my college magazine. I kept with the colours white, red and yellow for my colour scheme. I chose these colours because they work very well together, the red is very bold but the white writing and numbers on it become very bold and is easily read. I chose yellow as the third colour because it goes well with the red and is bold enough so you can read what’s written in the colour but isn't so bold that it phase's out the white. I think using primary colours makes the page look simplistic.
I took the idea of the bold numbers in white from my research into contents pages; I liked it because it made the numbers stand out and made the page look a bit more interesting.
I used the same font on the masthead of the front cover and used it throughout the magazine because it gives the magazine consistency, I like the font I used because it isn’t too childish or old-fashioned to it would appeal to all people within the college rather than a specific age range.
I used the picture of the Christmas tree because of the time of year and because its in the main entrance of the college so everyone would have seen it and would be able to relate. I liked the picture of the dinner ladies and so put it in because they are cheerful and gives a good welcoming appearance of the college so if a person visiting the college and wanted to treat the magazine as a prospectus they could look at this picture and think that it is a very welcoming place and the staff are friendly, its also a good picture to put in because everyone who eats in the refectory can relate to the staff that work there.
I put in the other picture of the sandwiches and drinks to show what the college has to offer and I couldn't put one of the common room because it would ruin the surprise!
