Photos taken for Contents Page

I went to the beach in Wales in order to take these photos to use a different location expressing variety in the choice of setting. 

These photos were taken against a stone like brick wall with a place to change the outfits of my model but quick enough to not have such varying lighting. 

I went to a Bombay Bicycle Club concert in Birmingham O2 Academy in order to take these photos and moved around the crowd to capture different images from different angles while enjoying the music, obviously. 

Constructing Final Contents Page

For the background I found an old styled image and using Photoshop, filtered the image to grayscale. I inserted an image frame and opened up the grayscale background.

Then I copied and pasted the moon image from my logo on the magazines front page across the top of the page, changing the layers to make the few overlap.

I then inserted a text frame over the top of this 'banner' and changed the font to 'Letter Gothic Std', added the shadow effect, sized it to 44pt and coloured it white.

Over a period of time I have taken and gathered together a collection of photos for my contents page. 

I began with inserting my main image which is the central feature of the contents page. Using a yingyang sign border I drew on a Wacom, I copied and pasted several of the ying yang strips around the main image. I inserted a text frame above the image and wrote the index for that feature. I inserted a separate text frame for the page number statement and changed the colour of the writing to a light purple. I inserted an image frame of the artists name which I had created on fontspace and using Image Effects colorised the name logo; I separately colorised the 'e'. 

I inserted the 'Mammals' images on the right side of the page using an image frame and free scaled it to the size I wanted. On the bottom two I adjusted the brightness using Image Effects to 29. I copied and pasted the image from the front cover of my magazine of the 'Mammals' title logo and duplicated it by 4. I put one behind the other twice and adjusted the colour using duotone on Image Effects to a pale brown and green. I inserted a text frame above the images and using the Letter Gothic Std font in white and size 14pt, wrote the index for that feature with the main point being in a dark blue. I inserted a separate text frame for the page number statement and changed the colour of the writing to a light purple. 

Using Fontspace again, I had created another subheading for the contents page and positioned the multiple writing images in the lower space of the page in the centre; I adjusted the size of each one. I created two image frames either side of the main point of the feature and inserted the sunflower image I had taken and cut out on Adobe Photoshop. I inserted a separate text frame for the page number statement and changed the colour of the writing to a light purple.

I made 3 different sized image frames in the bottom right area and inserted the 3 different images of the Bombay Bicycle Club concert. I adjusted the opacity of these photos in Windows>Properties to 70%. I inserted the logo of the band name which I found on Google Images and using Image Effects colorised the title to yellow and adjusted the shade to 50%. I inserted a text frame on top of the bottom image and using the Letter Gothic Std font in white and size 25pt, wrote the index for that feature. I inserted a separate text frame for the page number statement and changed the colour of the writing to a light purple.

I then created 3 image frames that overlapped in the bottom left corner of the page and inserted the same image of the beach photo 3 times. I moved the image within the frame to displace the lining of the overall image. I inserted another 2 image frames on top the feature image and inserted the article name logo I had made on Fontspace and changed the colour of the second name 'Pack' to a darker grey rather than white using the grayscale in Image Effects; I also blurred both the title images to 4.0. I inserted a text frame to the right of the image and wrote the index for that feature using the Letter Gothic Std font in white and size 14pt. I inserted a separate text frame for the page number statement and changed the colour of the writing to a light purple.

Finally, I did 4 rows of 3 different sized image frames that overlapped and inserted 4 different images, 1 for each row but repeated 3 times. I inserted a separate text frame for the page number statement and changed the colour of the writing to a light purple.I inserted another text frame below the page number and wrote the index for that feature using the Letter Gothic Std font in white and size 12pt.
