Contents Page Screenshots - Emily Climer

1. Contents Page Screenshots

2. To create my contents page I firstly
created a new document on Photoshop. I
then went on dafont to find the font I
used for my masthead to create ‘contents’.
After that I inserted my masthead.
Next I opened one of my images in
Photoshop, created a mask and removed
the background by painting in black.

3. After I had finished removing
the background on my first
image, I repeated the same
process on my second image.

4. Next I created a rectangle, using the
shape tool, and layered it behind my
first image. I then began to paint over
the rectangle in the same way that I
did on my front cover, tying the
pages together.

5. After I had created the background I
began to edit the colour balance,
brightness, and contrast on the image
to make it fit with the colour scheme.

6. I then created a mask and removed
the backgrounds of two more of my
images. I also added a rectangular
background to the two images in the
same way I did to the first image.
After that I began to add the some of
the text, like the artist names, page
numbers, and subheadings.

7. Next I created lines in between the
different subheadings to create columns
so that the contents page would be
easier to navigate. I also left a space for
the editor’s letter to go.
I then added the artist names,
matching the colours, not only to my
colour scheme, but also to the artist.

8. After that, I edited the colour balance, brightness and contrast of these two
images to match the rest of the image.
I then changed the placement of the artist names
because the rectangle was taking up too much room.
This meant that I had to change the colour of the
fonts and add a stroke to make them clearly visible.

9. Next I opened a picture of me to go
by the editor’s letter. I then edited
this image into a polaroid, by using
an image of a plain polaroid. This
was to give the editor’s letter a fun
and friendly feel to it.
I also chose quite a
quirky font to write the
editor’s letter in, so
that it seems like it’s
handwritten and
personal. Behind this I
then added another
rectangle and also
painted this one in the
same way.

10. After that I moved the masthead and added the
magazine’s social media username with the
corresponding logos of twitter, Facebook, and
Instagram.
I then added all of the article titles,
page numbers and information
into the different sections. I also
added the tree background from
the cover onto the contents page,
but without the colour behind and
flipped, so that it links, but doesn’t
copy the cover.

11. This is my completed contents page.
