Adding photographs to my front cover
I opened up Photoshop, chose my page size and clicked on ‘File’ in which I clicked on the option to ‘Open’ another file.
I opened up my image, then dragged and dropped it onto my cover page. I then pressed ‘Ctrl’ and ‘T’ to scale the photograph, whilst holding ‘Shift’.

Adding colour to Text
I highlighted which word I wanted, and then clicked the colour swatch tool and selected exactly which shade I wanted in order to change the colour.
Adding Text I have added text for my cover lines and chosen the font from this drop down box. I have highlighted the piece of text I wanted to change and then made the selection.

Adding Text
I have used the Type tool to add some writing to my double page spread. I drew a text box, made it into an appropriate size, chose my font and typed my article. I feel that it works well as it is in a typewriter style of font which will be easy to read and be seen

Adding more Text
I have used the paragraph tool in order to change the size of the first word in my article. This stands out a lot, as I wanted to make it look professional as many real magazines use this kind of stylistic feature.
I then clicked on the size arrows in order to make the initialof the word bigger or smaller, until I found the right size for this piece of text. I then made sure that everything was up to date and in line. I re-read and checked what I had typed for grammatical and spelling errors.

I have added some captions in order to give the prices and information n about some of vintage pieces featured in my photographs.
I have chosen the same vintage font for each picture. I did this to keep it consistent and so that all of the fonts match each other. I will be using the font ‘Mv Boli’ as it is the most sketchy font that I came across, it is in a handwritten style which looks the most authentic.

Adding photographs
I have used the ‘Place’ option on the ‘File’ drop down menu and opened up the folder with all my photographs stored in. I have then selected which photographs that I need to display on my magazine, and dropped them into InDesign.
Merging photographs
I have then selected both components that will be combining together in order to make the Polaroid, right hand clicked and selected ‘group’ to merge the two pieces together.

Photos
Here I have figured out to make photographs smaller, bigger, how to rotate and crop them in this software.
I have overlapped photos to make a layered effect, by arranging them and using the ‘send to back option’.
I have made sure they are the right size, and so they look good on my double page spread.

Adding photographs to contents
I have gone to ‘file’ and ‘open’, found my images and then inserted them onto on the page by dragging them. I then added boarders around the images to make them stand out more and make them look professional.

Adding text
I added text by using the ‘text’ tool on the left hand side toolbar. I then typed my contents, and then added page numbers corresponding to the pictures.
Adding page numbers
I then added some page numbers in order to make it look as close to a contents page as it can get.

Adding colour to text
I have added colour to these pieces of text in order to make them stand out from the page, and so that the page isn’t so boring overall.
I have highlighted which words I want to change the colour of and then chose black, blue and red.
