SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

CONTENTS PAGE

I STARTED WITH AN A3 CANVAS, THEN ROTATED IT TO MAKE A DOUBLE PAGE CONTENTS. I THEN SELECTED AND COLOUR FILLED A BANNER AT THE

TOP.

I THEN ADDED A INDICATOR IN THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER, THAT I JUST HIGHLIGHTED AND COPIED FROM MY MASTHEAD.

I GOT THE FONT FOR CONTENTS PAGE OFF DAFONT.COM AND THEN COLOURED IN THE OUTLINE WHITE SO IT STOOD OUT.

I ADDED ALL MY PICTURES TO THE MIDDLE, THAT I’D CUT OUT FROM THE ORIGINAL PICTURES I’D TAKEN AND THEY ARE ALL IN 5 SEPERATE LAYERS ON TOP OF

EACHOTHER . EACH PICTURE HAS A FAINT OUTERGLOW TO SMOOTH OUT ANY ROUGH EDGES FROM THE EDITING I DID BEFORE AND A FEW OF THE PICTURES

HAVE A BOLD GLOW TO STAND OUT.

I COPIED AND PASTED MY BIG CONTENTS BANNER REPEATEDLY TO MAKE THE SMALLER BANNER AND BOXES THAT ARE GOING TO SEPARATE THE TEXT ON THE PAGE. FOR THE BOX AT THE BOTTOM, I LOWERED THE OPACITY BECAUSE A SOLID BOX LOOKED TOO MUCH.

ALL THE TEXT I ADDED IS THE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. I DID LOWERCASE FOR THE TITLE OF THE ARTICLE AND CAPITAL FOR THE DESCRIPTION. FOR ‘FEATURES’, ‘REGULARS’ AND ‘REPTILIA

REVIEWS’, THEY ARE COLOURED IN BLACK BUT HAVE A WHITE OUTERGLOW SO THEY STAND OUT. ALL OF THE TEXT HAS AN OUTERGLOW BUT A VERY SMALL ONE, JUST TO MAKE THE TEXT

BOLD.

THESE TEXTS HAVE MORE OF AN OUTERGLOW AND A DROPSHADOW TO THEM AS THEY ARE DIFFERENT DESCRIPTIONS TO THE OTHERS. I

WANTED THEM TO STAND OUT MORE.

I ADDED A SUSCRIBE BOX AT THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE PAGE. FOR THIS THE TEXT IS AGAIN THE SAME FONT AS BEFORE BUT ITALIC AND WITH A HEAVY OUTERGLOW TO STAND OUT. I PRINT

SCREENED MY COVER AND MADE IT SMALLER TO FIT IN HERE. THE ICONS I GOT FROM THE INTERNET BUT THEN SELECTED THE ORIGNAL COLOUR, DELETED IT AND PUT IN THIS LIZARD SKIN

TO GO WITH THE NAME OF THE MAGAZINE- REPTILIA.
