Table of Contents Page


 Welcome back to my blog!

Today we're going to be going over what belongs in the table of contents page of a magazine, as well as giving some examples of the contents section of other magazines. So, what is a table of contents?

The table of contents, or just the content page for short is used to organize the material within a magazine and provide a tool that the reader can use to remember both articles of interest, as well as navigate to certain articles seamlessly. Most of the time, the contents page has an image related to the topic and is split into columns for easy reading. The articles are named and given their respective numbers in spots where the reader can easily discern where to go, and sometimes quick descriptions are provided below the article title. 



As we can see with the two examples provided, the one to the left showcases what I was talking about perfectly. There is a picture of a woman, which likely relates to the topic of the magazine, accompanied with titles, numbers, and descriptions on the right. The magazine to the right however is a little more bland, as it lacks a color scheme and has a rigid contents page that looks like something out of a textbook. This is just my opinion however! It still has many of the same aspects of the other magazines content's page save for the image.


Goodbye, and see you soon with another update!

Compulsory Question 4

 Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering compulsory question 4. Prezi Presentation:  https://prezi.com/p/-ovwsyoexlzb/?present=1 Prezi Video: https://prezi.com/v/y4em-lccoiy7/ Transcript   Hello, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 4 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory Question 4 asks, how did you integrate technologies - software, hardware, and online - in this project? To which I have to say, throughout this project, technology in the form of hardware, software, and online websites were heavily ingrained in the entire production of my magazine from the first blog to the entire final magazine. Without technology, I would have been unable to complete any of the tasks required of me. Software such as PhotoShop and the game Elden Ring helped me in the creation of my magazine. PhotoShop allowed me to edit and remove the background of the photos that I too...

Compulsory Question 3

 Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering Compulsory Question 3. Prezi Presentation:  https://prezi.com/p/vz7yt4yqhl6e/?present=1 Prezi Video: https://prezi.com/v/j_qaogdenhl0/ Transcript  Hello, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 3 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory question 3 asks, how did your production skills develop throughout this project?  To which I say, while developing my magazine, my skills especially in digital design have improved tremendously. This is obvious when comparing my submissions for the preliminary task compared to the submissions for my final magazine. I have improved my ability to use software such as PhotoShop to edit my photos, and Canva to compose my designs into a working item.  The preliminary task allowed me to dip my feet into the world of magazine creation. I had to gather pictures relevant to the topic, ed...
