1. Screenshots of photoshop of
the contents page
(final draft)
By Shannon Sloyan

2. I created a new page by going in to
file, and new. Then I clicked
international paper, size A4.

3. I then clicked on the bucket with
the paint brush and made the
background black because that is
what I would like this magazine
to be. I decided to change it to
white again because I wanted to
mix and match the colour of my
magazine. So now the contents
page is the colour white.

4. I don’t want my
magazine
contents page
to look
completely like
this, but I would
like to copy the
‘contents’ text
because it looks
really cool and I
also think it
would attract
my readers’
attention.
I wrote the word ‘contents’ and pressed enter
at the ‘NTEN and ‘TS’ so it would go on a
separate line.

5. I decided to make a new page
and place the photos of my
models on the white page. I then
tried to use quick selection to
crop the background out so I
could Meghan and Caitlin with a
white background but it
wouldn’t work. It didn’t work
because it kept on showing the
picture with the back ground
already in the photo when I
dragged it across to my actual
contents page.

6. Instead I used the rubber to erase the
background.

7. This is what it look like while editing the
photo. I tried again to drag the quick selection photo and this
time it work. So I deleted the eraser editing photo and
kept the other one.

8. I then cropped the photograph and also dragged
it onto the contents page.

9. I played around with moving the image and the title
‘contents’ around to figure out where it was best.
I thought it looked good next to each other.

10. I added what it is going to feature in my
magazine. I used the font Bernard MT Condensed.
The numbers are bigger than the text because it
informs the reader what is next to the number.
The font size for the numbers are 52.2 pt and the
text next to it is 32.12 pt. I then changed the font
to Book Antique.

11. I moved the photo and the text
about to find out where it would
suit best and I like it in this layout.

12. I created a musical note with using the cookie
cutter tool with a new page and dragged it into
the contents page. I made it smaller and rotated
it a little so it looks as though its on its side. I will
add another but different musical note to the
other side.

13. I made the heart sticker using
cookie cutter tool. I will
change the colour of it to red
and I will add one on top of it
which will be white.

14. I created an arrow for the ‘what’s
inside’ text. I cropped it. I then dragged
it to contents page. I then added the
text to be place above the arrow.

15. I added ‘blonette’ to
the heart like I did in
the front cover.

16. I then added text
saying ‘Questions
asked by you’ and
also placed two more
musical notes.

17. I placed a subscribe
barcode in the bottom
left hand side of the
page
I then created a
arrow and
painted it pink. I
placed it to the
near the
barcode. I added text saying ‘subscribe for
weekly mags’. I used the font Britannic
Bold, and the size is 20.41 pt.

18. This is my final draft of my
contents page.
