I decided to add the photographs to the contents page first because I could then arrange them to where I thought they looked best. I chose to group the photographs together at the bottom of the right hand side of the page so that down the left hand side I could have the page titles and numbers. On each photograph I cut of the top left hand side corner using the polygonal lasso tool, I did this so that the photographs wouldn’t look to rectangular.
I inverted the colours on the date/issue number and the features/regulars block. I did this because I wanted to maintain the colour scheme, yet I wanted to
make it appear fairly uniform, thereby keeping to a specific colour scheme for the page. I originally selected grey and red because they contrast well with each other and stand out. Red is a bold colour and contrasts well with the paleness of the grey. On the features/regulars block, I lowered the opacity of the grey to ensure that it wasn’t too dark or too noticeable. This made sure that the red was prominent.
For the page title ‘contents’ I chose the font Ruach LET 68pt because the text would look ‘rough’ and has the connotations of being urban. And
goes well with the images and iconography. Also I think that it compliments the style of the writing, which is featured in the photograph of the singer. In keeping with this I chose to add a shadow effect to the text. I did this to mimic the effect that the drop down screen, which is in the background of the photograph of the whole band, gives. The image on the screen almost looks like a shadow and I wanted to utilise this effect with the text.
I decided to alternate between the two colours red and black on the page titles and numbers. I did this so
that they wasn’t to much of one colour standing out from the rest. I included another text box besides ‘the kooks’, this is to show that the news is exclusive. To keep in with the colour scheme, I chose to do it in red, then add a drop shadow so it stands out more from the other red text, as I want it to be more eye catching. I also added the page number in the bottom left hand corner of the page.
