Step by step for contents page
- 1. STEP BY STEP SCREENSHOTS FOR MY CONTENTS PAGE Deemple Morar
- 2. Firstly, I used the paint bucket tool which is located on the left hand side. I then right clicked to apply the colour onto the blank page. I used a dark pink as I thought this would fir the genre of my contents page, this will ensure that the colours do not clash. BACKGROUND
- 3. Next, I used the rectangle shape tool to apply a shape at the top of my page. This is so that it would attract the audience to the ‘regular contents’ masthead. I chose a light shade of pink, as this fits the genre of my magazine. BACKGROUND FEATURES
- 4. In addition to this, I right clicked to use the text tool. I drew a text box over the rectangle shape and inserted ‘contents’. I had to ensure I moved the text layer so that the text would appear above the shape. I also inserted a squared shape and wrote ‘WW’. This stands for ‘Weatherhead Weekly’ which is the name of my magazine. BACKGROUND FEATURES/TEXT
- 5. Additionally, after I had created my ‘regular contents’, I had to consider what images I would include. I clicked on file, ‘open’ and chose the image I wanted to use. I dragged this over from my canvas to my contents page. I then clicked on ‘image’, ‘adjustments’ and clicked on the ‘brightness and contrast’. I changed the brightness and contrast of my image, to make it more noticeable, so that it will be eye catching towards the audience. I ensured I did this all the images I used. MAIN IMAGES
- 6. Furthermore, I used several different images on my contents page by inserting them off my file. After I had completed this, I included each feature article (cover lines), that would be included on my contents page. I started with ‘News’, ‘Important Dates’, ‘Trips’ and finished with an ‘Editors Letter’. I applied the text tool to create this piece of writing by right clicking to apply the box. I ensured I included the date so that the audience will know when the issue has been released. This allows the audience to be able to identify when the next issue will be released. COVER LINES
- 7. FINISHED CONTENTS PAGE After I had completed the final contents page, I decided I wanted to remove the light pink rectangle where the ‘regular contents’ is situated. This is because I thought it looked better presented without it. I then right clicked over the shape tool and inserted a rectangle shape, to create a thick line. I adjusted this by clicking on ‘CTRL’ and ‘T’, to adjust the thickness of the line.
