Progress towards final pages

Since my last progress report I have:

• Finished the layouts of my cover and contents page
• Come up with other stories to put on my contents page
• Got photos to go on the pages

What I need to do from now is:

• Put the photos on the pages
• finish the article for my double page spread
• Finish my double page spread

Work so far:

So far i have finished my layouts for my cover page and contents page. 

So far I have just used bright coloured boxes as place holders for the images, the green background on the cover is going to be my cover photo and the purple boxes on the contents are where the photos will go. 

With my contents page I decided not to stick to my original plan, after looking at other contents pages again I decided to make my design look more dynamic and professional. I used things like drop shadows and moved the smaller images so they looked less uniform. Rather than just being in a regular layout they are more diagonal. 

I have also managed to edit one of the screen shots of the masthead to use on my cover page. I couldn't actually work out how to download the font onto the computer so I just used PhotoShop to edit it and make it look useable. This isn't the best thing I could've done as I actually wanted to use a different font but that was too difficult to edit. However it hasn't turned out badly so it's okay.

I also managed to come up with some ideas of what to put on my contents page, as you can see in the screen shot on the left. I only need to take one more photo to go on the contents and replace on of the two smaller purple, place holder boxes.
