Preliminary Task: Content Page Evaluation
- 1. Preliminary Task: Content Page Evaluation By: Fasiha Zaheer
- 2. According to the mock up I have divided the articles into two sections the cover stories and the regulars. The name of the magazine is at top of the page and below is the issue date. I used a dark red color to under line the name of the magazine and the two headings "cover stories and regulars" as it gives a tidy impact. I have used a bold font for the name of the different articles in both the sections. To differentiate he description about the articles given they are not in a bold font. I have placed the article name, description and page number on one the images. I changed the font color and font of the article name to a different color and font style because it looked really dull. However, the color I used is the same color I used to underline the name of the magazine, cover stories and regulars because I wanted to stay in a limited range when it came to the colors for the text. But I did not bring any changes to the description because I did not wanted to over- do it. The page number is placed right next to the caption.
- 3. Polygonal Lasso Tool Using the polygonal lasso tool I cropped the images background and placed them on the contents page. I positioned them together. Just like I saw on many contents page during my research. I placed the second images just the way it was however I adjusted its brightness as the picture looked a little bit dark to me.
- 4. I used the color white for the background because when I tried different colors they did not look that appealing.
- 5. But, then the contents page looked too plain so instead of using a plain white background I tried to use a gradient for the background and the color I picked was from the first images and it made a good combination.
