The document describes the steps taken to design a digital publication (DPS) using Quark and Photoshop. Key steps included: 1. Placing an image across both pages as a background using the image tool. 2. Selecting text boxes using the rectangle tool and coloring them red to match the cover. 3. Importing text from a word document into various text boxes for placement flexibility. 4. Inserting quotes from the text into red boxes, changing font and color using text tools.

2. The first thing I had to do was selecting my image and placing it
across both pages so that it acted as a background. To do this I used
the image tool and dragged the image around till it fit where I
needed it to.

3. The next thing I had to do was select the boxes in which my text would
be placed. I used the rectangle tool to place them how I wanted and
then used the colour brush to select a red that matched my cover and
contents.

4. I then moved on to inserting my text. To do this I imported my word
document in segments into various text boxes. So I had free reign
over where I placed my text.

5. The next step was to insert quotes from the text. In the red boxes, I
placed text in from the interview and changed the colour and font
using the text tool.

6. For the quote at the top I had to place a drop shadow using the edit text
tool.

7. To create the ripped page box, I first had to create it in Photoshop and
then insert it as a JPEG image on this Quark document. I also placed a new
artist banner; I decreased the opacity in ‘edit shape’ and then used the
text tool to place the text over it.

8. I then downloaded a font from dafont.com and placed the text in
the ripped page effect using text tool.

9. To finish it up I then placed text next to it using the text tool. I then used the
rectangle and text tool to place page numbers in and once this was done,
my DPS was complete.
