Proof of improved contents page design processes
- 1. Proof of improved contents page design process. { Charlie Vaughan
- 2. This is the contents page that I designed originally for my magazine, I Used the magnetic marque tool to select a small area of colour from the bottom left corner that I like to be the basis of my new contents page design
- 3. This is what it looked like
- 4. Then I used the same method for making my Masthead in creating a title for the contents page, shortening contents page to Cont because it meant it would fit on the page, whilst still being associated with the word contents
- 5. I then used the rectangle tool with the same colour as the columns on the old contents page and a stroke of purple to coincide with the theme that I have maintained thought-out the magazine.
- 6. This was placed using the horizontal text tool, with a drop shadow placed behind by double clicking on the layer in the layers side bar and checking the drop shadow box.
- 7. I then used a large font for the page number and a smaller standard font. Size 12. to place the article title and a brief description of the article. This was all written in word first and then added to the magazine to ensure the grammar is correct
- 8. This is how the page looks with the rest of the feature pages placed on it using the same method
- 9. I placed the regulars heading with the horizontal text tool and added the drop shadow to make it stand out on the page. It also the exact sane size as the features heading.
- 10. I added the same rectangle as the features heading to the regulars heading.
- 11. Used the same horizontal type tool, as well as font and size along wit the number
- 12. This is the basis of the contnets page its self.
- 13. This shows that document that I produced with all the text from the contents page on
- 14. This is how it looked on the page
- 15. Then I did the same with another image of Adam and placed it like this.
- 16. Duplicating the left hand Lay- Z’s layer, flipping it horizontally and placing it on the right hand side gave this unique looking arrangement of the artist, next to the main article of the magazine.
- 17. To design the BaseFace Live logo I used the original masthead that I made, By selecting this part…….
- 18. And deleting it ……..
- 19. And selecting this part……..
- 21. I ended up with the basis of the BF live logo.
- 22. Placing a purple (Coinciding with the theme ) for the logo
- 23. This is the finished product..
