Process of making my contents page

 Process of Making My contents page;

contents page background 

for the back ground of my contents page i wanted to stay with the same colour scheme that i used for my front cover. (pink, black and white). i decided to make it a paint splashed background as it add to the theme of my magazine, rock, as it is associated with being riotous, disorderly. 

I created the background by creating various  brushes of paint splashes and collaged them together on the background layer. 





  

contents background title and shapes

                                                                  once i finished with the paint splatters i then began to add shapes. I still maintained the same colour scheme (pink and black). i think the shapes add a irregular, slightly rugged element to the background. i decided to turn down the opacity level to the shape to tone down the colours a bit so that they aren't completely in your face.

For the writing ('contents') i made the font into a brush as this allowed me to print it wherever i wanted to on the page. it also allowed me to play around with the opacity to make the font look like its been painted on. i wanted to maintain this painted theme throughout my contents page with the paint splatters and the  

contents image arrangement 

                                                    
i then went on to add images onto my contents  page. the idea i had for my contents page was to cut up the images into sections to create a distorted face. i want to do this as i felt it would fit well with my theme. in the images i wanted to take carry on with the distorted look so i decided to give each image a fuzzy, 3D effect. i did this by layering two different colours on top of each other. i didn't go with the traditional red and blue 3D effect instead i chose to layer the colours i used through out my magazine (pink, green, black and white). in the image in the centre i layered pink over the original black and white image. and in the image the right i layer the green colour over pink. 

contents page font 

 For the font for my contents page i wanted to choose a font that would fit well with my theme. i decided to choose this one as looks disarrayed which fits in with the distorted look i have carried through my magazine. 

                                             For the title of my contents       
                                             page i wanted to make the          
                                             words look like they have been    
                                             painted on to the page. to     
                                             create this effect i made the 
                                             word into a brush and printed     
                                             it onto the page. i lowered the 
                                             opacity so it wouldn't look to    
                                             bold.                                   
                                                                                          These are the colours i chose  
                                                                                          to use in my contents page. 
                                                                                          (pink and neon green)i found 
                                                                                          that these colours work well      
                                                                                          with each other as they         
                                                                                          compliment each other really 
                                                                                          well...
