This document outlines the steps taken to create a contents page for a magazine in Photoshop. It describes importing images, resizing them, removing backgrounds using various tools, adding text and formatting features, and filtering photos to match the magazine's color scheme. The result is a contents page with positioned and rendered images, social media icons, credits, and text formatted with different fonts and colors to mimic a real magazine contents page.

2. New
As you can see, there have been slight changes
made to my contents page such as the page
numbers. Most magazines have larger gaps and
higher upper limit of pages due to advertisements.
Applying this knowledge to my magazine shows
my understanding of this feature (page numbers).

3. Steps
 Firstly, I chose an image particularly a front cover of a
magazine from Google. This will serve as a base that has the
correct size of a magazine front cover.
 Drag the image to Photoshop as well as the photo I have
taken (2 separate files opened in Photoshop).
 Then, I will drag the photo I have taken to the other image

4. Steps
 Originally, the image will be massively large when transferred
to the other file. Therefore, in selection of the first image, I
clicked on to from the menu bar.
 A display box has appeared then I set the image settings to
these particular sizes. So when I adjust the image after being
transferred, it will be much easier.
(Contents Page was taken
with a DSLR camera unlike
my Front Cover)

5. Image Size

Non-adjusted
Image
Evidently, the second image is time-consuming in terms of resizing using transform controls as the tip of
her hair is visible. On the other hand, the first image only takes a few seconds of adjusting my model’s face.

6.  To render the image, click on the brush tool.
 Then, set the tool size to 46 or larger in deleting wide background spaces.
The mode should also be set to ‘Clear’ as its specific function is
for removing the background only.
 To make the edges smooth and precise, I changed the
tool size to a lower number and zoom in to particular
areas of my model’s face.
 After that, I use the rectangle tool
which is available on the side menu
bar (can be changed when right-
clicking on the line tool). The image
provided will pop up after right-clicking.
 I also changed the fill to #000000 (black) …
 …then create a dark rectangle by dragging the cursor from the
upper left corner of the file. This will serve as the background.

7. Here is the result after rendering the original image. I positioned the rendered image to the
lower right corner of the file due to texts (‘contents’) that will be added on the near upper left
side. The overlap should also be considered as it should not happen, for the purpose of
contents page is to inform therefore people would not want complicated designs. They want
to focus more on reading the texts which will be provided

8. Since the original photo does not possess any colour scheme of EDM Magazine, I decided to add
filters by clicking on to then experimented different types of colour
balances and correctors to achieve the scheme which is very
satisfying to my liking.

9.  In order to add texts and its
miscellaneous features such as
colour, font styles, click on the
horizontal type tool
 Moreover, you can edit the text by
highlighting it then select different
features from the toolbar.
 .png files can offer images with
transparent background instead of
white, black or other colours. I have
searched for rendered icons from
Google rather than consume time
by rendering it. These are
indicators where the audience can
easily find ‘Shanaia’ in
social medias.
Font styles Font size
Font colour
Specific colours, mostly neon were used in my contents page due to
the colour scheme which I am following. It is also the same very
reason for why I edited or filtered Shanaia’s photo. Credits are also
essential in a contents page as it shows gratitude to the photographer.
Paginations should have a min. of about 60 pages as a ‘real’ magazine
contains lots of advertisement.
