2. Originally when I designed my first double paged spread the top
five documentaries section looked boring too big and out of
place, when I received peer and teacher feedback on how my
double page spread looked, this issue was reverberated and I was
encouraged to display this part of my double paged spread
differently. I thought about how I could display my idea a bit
better in order for them to look more aesthetically appealing so I
came up with the idea about displaying the top five
documentaries in the shape of a TV.
I began a new document in
Photoshop so that I could
start to create the TV shape.
The page measurements
were set to A4 and I chose a
transparent background
because its what I prefer to
work on.
3. My first step was to create the main outline of the TV using the rounded
rectangle tool.
4. The next thing I wanted
to do was to make the
top part of the TV to
make it more like a
cartoon version of an
old TV. I did this by using
the Ellipse tool which
created a semi circle.
Because I only wanted
half of the semi circle, I
zoomed in a lot and
used the rubber tool to
rub out the other half of
the semi circle
5. The next step was to add a
smaller rounded
rectangle on the inside of
the previous rectangle I
had already created this
created the inside of the
screen where my text was
going to go. I then
decided to add the
background, of my double
paged spread so that you
could see this through the
outline of the TV giving
me a better idea about
what the actual tv would
look like on my double
paged spread. I also
zoomed in and cropped
the image so that I had a
smaller work space.
6. I then started to
create the lines
that are on the
side of the TV
using the line
tool I then
duplicate this
four times to
create the
bottom bit of
the TV creating
the effect
shown on the
screen shot
below.
7. I then created the buttons for my
television. I did this by using the
round ellipse tool and then I
duplicated the layer four times so
that I had four buttons I then
moved each duplicated layer to a
new position creating the four
buttons.
This is my finished result.
