I created the main layout for the contents page in Photoshop first then added all of the text on to it in quark.

I created the ribbon by using the rectangle tool, I rotated it slightly and sliced the right side down vertically. I created another rectangle in which I cut a triangle out of for the end of the ribbon which gave the effect of it wrapping around the sidebar.

Each page box was made using the rectangle tool and then I added a slight gradient onto it through the layer styles.

I blurred the background of the image to focus the attention to the subject I also increased the brightness and reduced the contrast slightly.

On the image I sharpened the subjects face and blurred the background which draws the attention away from the background.

I created the contents page title background using the rectangle tool.

I used the text tool for all the text used on the contents page which I adjusted the settings for such as the colour and the font type. The font used was “A love of thunder”.

I imported the ribbon which I made in Photoshop and moved it onto the rectangle which I created using the shape tool.

I imported the Facebook, and twitter icons into the document which were saved as PNG images to preserve transparency, I then had to remove the box background as it automatically adds a white background to images.

I created rectangle behind the caption and changed the opacity slightly so you could see the background through it.

The image was edited in Photoshop, I adjusted thelevels and contrast and blurred the background by using the quick mask tool. To make the attention be drawn to the band.

The images of the band album cover and captioned image was added using the image box tool, I created the band album cover in Photoshop using a picture I took of them.

I wrote my article in Microsoft word to check for spelling mistakes and so I could edit the article easier.
