central part of making my contents page





screenshot 1: i added the title which i erased with a cracked photoshop brush and a eraser tool. i then added a black rectangle tool around it and added the issue number and date. i also added the editor section with a small passage about the magazine. i also added a small doodle/signature at the bottom just for a little bit of authenticity. i finally added a subscription box to plug the subscription to the magazine and entice more readers. i purposefully set the price at £6 a month becuase it is cheaper than kerrang. If i was making this magazine for real i would run this as a limited time promotion becuase the magazine itself is more expensive than kerrang and 'The smoke' would then make a loss.

screenshot 2: i added two images at the side becuase they both relate to the stories on the contents page.
Screenshot 3: i then started adding text. i opened another photoshop document as i find it easier working seperatly and dragging things on. i wrote down the text i wanted, selected the font and colour. then i made a rectangle box and dragged my layer below it. i then clicked the eye next to my layer to remove it from being visable. i then ctrl-clicked to merge visable and dragged it on. this is how i have created all of my text on my contents page.
