This is my content page, as you can see the house style is the same and colours. I have on the top used the same magazine front title from the front cover to use in my contents page. I have clearly put also on the top the issue number and date so the reader knows what issue they are reading. Along the left side, there is a band index I have used this idea from NME as they have a band index in there contents page, I feel that this gives the contents page a good feel to it. It is easier to find your favorite band in the magazine with this band index.
I have also followed the conventional contents page by categorising the different pages and also writing a little bit about what will be in the page, so the reader knows before they get to the page to expect. I have also used the black blocks in the contents page as I have used in my double page spread and front page.
The image of 'Savage' is in black and white to make the feel of a rock image, I really like this image as it shows the attitude of the artist and also that he is looking at the camera with a grumpy look on his face showing the attitude that I wanted to get across.
I am all in all very happy in how this content page has come out, I feel that everything about this page works, and looks at its best.

This is my final front cover of my preliminary task for my still image piece. I created this front cover using Photoshop. Which i have been used to using as i use it for photography. The challenges I found to use Photoshop was that it was hard to layer with some of the pictures, even though its pretty basic. My image that i used as my background image it was hard to find colours that would stand out against the colouring within the image.
The particular social group that I have chosen to work with is the sixth formers at chew valley school. I have reached out to this audience as it is the start of the new term and there is a new sixth form block opening up to them. Although I have put underneath the title (Chew News)- "sixth form special" so that the reader knows that this particular episode of the magazine is all about the sixth form and not its original publication.
The institution that would be interested in selling my magazine would be an institution that sells magazines to schools around the country. Also chew valley school would distribute my magazine as well as it is about the school so they would want to sale it.
As i said before the audience that i have chosen to work with was students of Chew Valley sixth form as the magazine is titled Sixth Form Special so you can tell that it is just for the sixth formers, but other students of the school are welcome to buy the magazine as they might like to see what it is like to be at sixth form. I address my audience through images of the new sixth form block and images inside the magazine of the students.
I have learnt how to use Photoshop better, I was alright with using it to start with but now I feel very confident with using it for my actually final product. Looking back through my preliminary task I have learnt to use Photoshop and how to layout my magazine better.
