Contents page: Production progress

As you can see, I've added my edited image onto a page
on photoshop and added my masthead. I have matched the 
colour of the block aligned next to my masthead to the 
colour of my model's dress. I am aware that the house-style
of my magazine is pink, but I wanted to match this colour 
with her dress so that it looked more professional. My chosen
magazine colour (pink) is from the same colour pallet 
as the colour I have chosen so it's not a big difference, 
it still matches.

I added a date to this magazine (which I may later change
because I'm not entirely keen on it) and I added a feature
story on the right-hand side.
 
I then followed that concept all the way down the
feature side of my contents page to make it appear
professional. I put the subheadings in bold and the
information about it underneath in plain normal
font so that it can give it the most professional
look possible.
I then added text along the bottom of the page, however,
I want these pages to be 'events' for the magazine so it appears
more regional and interactive. I also added pages such as
'in this issue', 'last look' and 'editors comments'
to again make it appear more professional.



I then added banners for my subheadings 'features'
and 'events' to add more personality to my contents
page.

Contents page: Image progress

Original image (plus blur)
I added brightness and contrast to the image to make it more
brighter and noticeable 
I added vibrance and saturation to again enhance the
image and make it more bright to match the themes I
want to portray in my magazine: happiness.

I added Gaussian Blur to the image to blur out the
background as I want to make my model the main focus.


I took print screens of my image progress for my contents page. Each step I edited I have screen shotted it and inserted it here so that you can clearly see my development and production process. This is the image I'm using for my contents page because it's clearly focussed on the model and it's got the right clothing to show the audience what type of magazine it's going to be e.g. winter/autumn clothing. I started on my contents page first because I thought it would be the easiest so I was eliminating the easier things to do so I can manage my time correctly.
