Editing Process
1.
2. First, I opened a blank A4 page,
and added a blue rectangular
box at the bottom as a sort of
“border”.
Next, I added my main title in a
downloaded font (dafont.com)
and underlined it.
3. I then added a drop shadow to
my main header to make it
bold and stand out.
I then added a small star shape as a sort of “logo”, and put a drop shadow
effect on it to make it stand out and match the header.
4. I then opened my chosen image,
and used the quick selection tool
to select the two main subjects.
I then pasted my selected
image and resized and
adjusted the contrast and
saturation until it suited my
magazine style.
5. I next used the text tool to
add a main coverline on top
of the main cover image. I
used a downloaded font, and
used two different colour to
fit in with the magazine
colour scheme, and make the
“Exclusive Interview” stand
out.
Then, I used the shape tool
to add a star shape similar
to the one used in the
header, added a drop
shadow, and put the text
“1st Edition” on it.
6. Next, a barcode was added on
the bottom right of the cover.
Finally, the bottom “header”
was filled in with a “Plus:”
section, and the front cover
was finished.
7. Fist, a made a layout of my
contents page using a
straight blue line and a blue
rectangle shape.
Next, I added the “Contents” title, and added the drop
shadow effect.
8. I then used Quark to produce the text for my contents
page, I used 3 columns, and used the guides to help
layout the text.
9. I next used the Quick Selection tool to
make the selection on the images I had
I then inserted my chosen to be on my contents page.
contents text from Quark,
on to my Photoshop
layout.
I then added the images,
and separated them
diagonally, as it is more
interesting to look at. I
also altered the contrast
and saturation until the
images looked suitable.
10. I then added the text to correspond with the images,
making sure the text colour and font was suitable
and fitted in with the magazine style. I also added
white lines onto the content text to make a more
appealing layout; finishing the contents page.
11. I first selected my background
image, and opened it on a A3
document.
Next, I used Quick Select to select the image I wanted, I then altered the
saturation and contrast, and added some effects until it looked interesting, I then
imported it on to my background.
12. I then added the boxes that I would
soon use for my text, and added a
drop shadow effect. I arranged the
boxes so they all work well
together, and didn’t obstruct too
much of the main image.
Next, the article title, introductory
paragraph and quote were added,
and altered till they were slightly
rotated and had a drop shadow.
13. I then used Quark to write my
double page spread article, making
sure the text fit correctly into 2 neat
columns. I also changed the colours
of the text, making it easier to read
but also keeping with the magazine
colour scheme.
I then imported the
Quark article onto
the Photoshop
layout, and rotated
it so it fitted in with
the box, completing
the double page
spread.
