Steps: I constantly use bases in

order to get the correct size of the actual page of the magazine. This is the first thing I always do when creating specific pages of my magazine.

After both the base and main image is transferred to Photoshop. Drag the photo to be used as the main image of the double page spread by selecting the move tool ( ) then transfer it into the base file

Steps: Open Image from

the menu bar then select canvas size.

A pop up will appear then add few centimetres to width to increase the space for texts, horizontally.

Although, the recent version of my DPS is longer than the base’s size. This is due to lengthy texts which are unable to fit within the file’s previous size. The texts contain information regarding the interview therefore each sentences are essential and are needed to be included.

Steps (Image filters and backgrounds) To add filters, select

then choose whether you need to change the image’s brightness levels, warm or cold levels and curves to instantly adjust and balance contrast. I have chosen these filters as my image earlier was pale blue which did not seem a natural skin colour. Instead, I made her flawless as being presentable obviously attracts audiences.

For backgrounds, select the ‘Rectangle Tool’ then set the fill to ‘#000 (black)’ and strokes to ‘No Colour’. Next, the cursor from the upper left corner of the DPS file to the other end (lower right corner)

The background behind the main image was created using a background from Google Images (words searched: grungy/grunge white background)

To change the colour, select the background’s frame then click on to normal. A drop box will appear upwardly, then select ‘Exclusion’

Another thing which altered is the uniform. My model wore a school uniform so I needed to change it into casual wear because it does not correlate to EDM. To do this process, I have already edited the image using filters so the uniform become darker, the problem left is the shirt and tie. Select the brush tool then draw onto the shirt and tie, making it look a dark shirt.

Steps (header text)• To add texts, select the Horizontal Type Tool ( ) then click on

the spaces provided in the file until a blinking cursor appear. This indicates that texts will appear when you type. I typed “Skylette” as the header.

• Editing inside the text uses ‘layer style’. This enables the user to have creative texts or even 3D texts. In order to achieve the header text above, I used pattern overlay

and satin.

Layer style

After all the needed texts and features have been laid out, the last step to be completed is the columns’ background. To do this, select the shape tool (particularly rectangle) then set the stroke to ‘no colour’ and fill with a dark light blue. You can resize these shapes by enabling the transformation controls and using the move tool.

when shape is dragged.
