2. Steps:
 I constantly use bases in
order to get the correct
size of the actual page of
the magazine. This is the
first thing I always do
when creating specific
pages of my magazine.
 After both the base and
main image is
transferred to
Photoshop. Drag the
photo to be used as the
main image of the
double page spread by
selecting the move tool (
) then transfer it into the
base file

3. Steps:
 Open Image from
the menu bar then
select canvas size.
 A pop up will appear
then add few
centimetres to width
to increase the
space for texts,
horizontally.
Although, the recent version of my DPS is longer than the
base’s size. This is due to lengthy texts which are unable
to fit within the file’s previous size. The texts contain
information regarding the interview therefore each
sentences are essential and are needed to be included.

4. Steps (Image filters and backgrounds)
 To add filters, select then
choose whether you need to
change the image’s brightness levels, warm or cold levels and curves to
instantly adjust and balance contrast. I have chosen these filters as my
image earlier was pale blue which did not seem a natural skin colour.
Instead, I made her flawless as being presentable obviously attracts
audiences.
 For backgrounds, select the ‘Rectangle Tool’ then set the fill to ‘#000 (black)’
and strokes to ‘No Colour’. Next, the cursor from the upper left corner of the
DPS file to the other end (lower right corner)

5.  The background
behind the main
image was created
using a background
from Google
Images (words
searched:
grungy/grunge
white background)
 To change the
colour, select the
background’s frame
then click on to
normal. A drop box
will appear
upwardly, then
select ‘Exclusion’

6. Another thing which altered is the uniform. My model wore a school
uniform so I needed to change it into casual wear because it does not
correlate to EDM. To do this process, I have already edited the image
using filters so the uniform become darker, the problem left is the shirt
and tie. Select the brush tool then draw onto the shirt and tie,
making it look a dark shirt.

7. Steps (header text)
• To add texts, select the Horizontal Type Tool ( ) then click on the spaces
provided in the file until a blinking cursor appear. This indicates that texts will
appear when you type. I typed “Skylette” as the header.
• Editing inside the text uses ‘layer style’. This enables
the user to have creative texts or even 3D texts. In
order to achieve the header text above, I used
pattern overlay
and satin.

8. After all the needed texts and features have been laid out, the last step
to be completed is the columns’ background. To do this, select the shape
tool (particularly rectangle) then set the stroke to ‘no colour’ and fill with
a dark light blue. You can resize these shapes by enabling the
transformation controls and using the move tool.
