DEVELOPMENT

2. To begin creating my contents page I had first
opened up this image in Adobe photo shop
CC as it is an image which I would like to edit
and use in my contents page.

3. As I only wanted to lighten the girl and the dress which she’s wearing, I added an
exposure layer and inverted the layer so that the area that I draw over is lightened.

4. I had increased the exposure level to 2.42 and drew over the girl with the brush tool to
lighten the area.

5. Adding another exposure layer I reduced the level of exposure down to -9.09 and
changed the colour of the paint brush tool to black and painted over the girl. I had done
this as I wanted to darken everything in the image besides the girl.

6. For an image of a chandelier, I had again added an exposure filter and lowered the
exposure to -3.36 and using the paint brush tool I had drawn over the chandelier to
lighten this area and make it contrast against the dark background.

7. To begin making my contents page I had created an A4 canvas and made a copy of the
background so I can use the paint bucket tool and change the background colour to
black.

8. I had then placed the image
of the girl onto the canvas at
the angle that I wanted.

9. I had placed the image of the chandelier onto the canvas and made a copy of it as I
wanted to darken the image.

10. How the contents page looked after I darkened the chandelier and the area around the
dress.

11. To create the title of my contents page I had used the text tool to do so and I had kept
the font and colour of the title the same as my masthead. To create my contents lists I
had created a rectangle using the rectangle tool and I rasterized the rectangle so that I
can make it transparent.

12. How my contents page looked
before receiving feedback.
FEEDBACK – improvements
Include an introductory article next

13. How my magazine looked after the
changes made. I had placed an
image of a woman playing a cello
and using another rasterised
rectangle I highlighted the name of
the article and below I had wrote the
article using the text tool.
