New Subject Page - Fonts

 Because I am placing my pages in alphabetical order, I knew that Applied Science and Art were going to be my first two subject pages which I had to cover. This is why I could begin to pick my font.

I went back to 1001fonts.com in order to find the perfect font, this is where I found the following fonts featured. The next step is deciding which I want to use.

I really liked the way this font looked, it is very simplistic and not forced into the readers face.

This font was not the correct style once I situated it onto my page, I did not like the overall look it gave. 

Although I did previously want to use a bold font, I don't think this is going to show any positive correlation when it comes to fitting in with the rest of my booklet.

This looked very bland and chunky, even though I did not hand draw any of the fonts, I didn't want them to see forced onto the page. What I mean by this is that I don't want something to look like it doesn't belong on the page, I want my booklet to look as natural as possible so it does not scare the Year 11 readers off by looking overly developed.

New Subject Page - Layout

This is going to be the basic layout of my page, I decided to feature a coloured block down the side of my page as I took inspiration from one of the prospectuses which I researched. It stops the page from looking overly basis, it offers a very simplistic but effective look to the overall composition.

I will be featuring this colour throughout my whole survival guide, it will now become a part of my colour scheme. This is a common feature to have within booklets as it offers a sense of recognition, the colours become linked with the piece.

Change Of Plan

As previously stated, I was originally going to create a promotional video for my current sixth form which I then changed into a prospectus. I have now changed my plan again, this will be my final change as I need to jump into the process of making my piece, I am now going to be creating a survival guide to Sixth Form.

This will still include all of the information I previously said I would include, although this time it will be written in a more informal tone. This will allow those reading to get an idea of what sixth form is like through my eyes, a current student.

I also will not be including information regarding how the course will be assessed and what the content of the course will be, I don't want to be including information such as what each individual module would be as that information is already accessible in the prospectus.

I will now need to collect new data such as what the course could lead to; this will be a list of courses they can go on to study at universities all around the country.

Second and Third Page - Welcome and About Us Progress

I will now move onto the third page, this is where I am going to be splitting the page into two halves and adding two different sections. On the top half I will be featuring a welcome message followed by an 'About Us' section on the bottom half.

To start this off, because I already had the background colour sorted and the page was already split equally, I could dive straight in with adding text.

Because I had already established a colour scheme and font, the process is going to become considerably easier.

I went back onto 1001fonts.com and searched for Reglo Bold in order to begin adding text:

After I had added all the text I needed to using the font Reglo Bold, I realised that the page would like slightly bare either side of the subheadings. So I proceeded to add dots on either side, I have not seen this featured on any other prospectuses during my research, apart from on the already existing prospectus:

The next step was to add text, in order to make sure I was enclosing correct information and not jus making it up, I kept referring to the prospectus from last year. To make sure I made no spelling mistakes, I typed it up within Microsoft Word.

As I was taking screenshots I noticed that I had removed the layer showing the text on my contents page, so I decided to replace the layer so I could get the full effect of all of the writing on both pages.

The next step was to add page numbers.

This is what my final contents and welcome page looks like.
