1) The document describes the process of creating a double page magazine spread using Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. Photoshop was used to edit images and create graphics while InDesign was used for layout. 2) Key elements like titles, images, text boxes and quotes were created separately in either Photoshop or Microsoft Word and then imported into InDesign for page composition. 3) Filters, tools and effects in Photoshop were used to prepare images and graphics before placing them in the InDesign layout alongside text boxes for the article, captions and credits. Color adjustments were also made to images in Photoshop.

2. For the production of my double page spread I used another of the adobe collection a
programme which many magazine publishers use, In design. Using this I was able to
develop my technological skills in the field of media. Here is the programme how it was
when I opened it.

3. Using Photoshop I created the title for the double page spread. I used the line tool to
create the four lines like on a sheet of music and in the shapes tool I found various notes
which I randomly placed around the text “Holly Coles”. Then I saved it as a png so there
was no back ground and opened it in in design.

4. All of my images where altered in Photoshop as in design is not the software to use for
such things. First using the quick selection tool I was able to get rid of the background in
the image then I used the filter gallery to add the “cut out” effect making it look how it
does. And finally exported it over to in design. I then used the crop tool to get it to the
size I wanted and placed it where I wanted.

5. I then made a similar page index to the ones I have on my contents page using the shape
tool I made a white rectangle and then added in the text into the box after .

6. I write all of my article for the double page spread in Microsoft word and then copied it.
To get it into in design I made a text box and then pasted it across. Instead of doing a
question answer article I simply did a review as I thought it would engage my audience
more.

7. As my page was looking very bland with a lot of white I again used the text boxes on in
design and made some quotes from the artist. I made the quotation marks bigger and
red to stand out from the text. Also I added the writer of the article liike most magazines
have.

8. Finally to add more colour to the page I added another image of the artist again this was
edited in Photoshop with the quick selection tool to get rid of the background and then
copied the image three times over and added a colour boost of (blue, red and grey) to
keep with he colour scheme and moved them diagonally a bit. Finally I imported it into in
design making the finished product you see below.
