Skills project for contents page

For my background I used one of the

colours in the background on my

front cover, I used the eye dropper

tool to click on the colour I wanted, it

then stored it on the set background

colour block. When I clicked the fill

bucket tool and clicked on my

contents page it made it my

background colour.

For one of my pictures on

my contents I changed the

opacity, by double clicking

on the layer and lowering

the opacity dial down to

71%. The reason I done this

was so it blended into the

background slightly so I

could put items such as text

over the top.

I decided to give the image extra

effect by copy and pasting another

one of the same image over the

top. I changed the image to black

and white by clicking on, image,

adjustments, then simply clicking

on black and white. I then changed

the opacity of the image to match

the one underneath it. So I

changed the opacity to 71% again.

The reason I changed the opacity

is so you could still see the image

underneath, so it will have a better

effect.

For my plug box, I used the

rectangular marquee tool to

draw it, then the paint bucket

tool to fill it. Once again I used

the eye dropper tool and used a

purple of my front cover to fill

the box. I did this for the other

plug box on my contents page,

but just simply used a different

colour of my front cover

background.

For my box behind the main title

I simply just drew a box with the

rectangular marquee tool and

filled it with the paint bucket tool.

The colour I filled it with I still

used from my front cover just

like I mentioned before. I also

changed the opacity of the box

by lowering it to 59% this is so it

blended in with the background

slightly, and didn’t overpower my

main title.

For all of the text on my contents I

used the stroke tool and changed the

colour to purple to make the text

stand out. I only put the size of the

stroke to 2% because I didn’t want it

to overpower the writing and make it

look messy and un-readable.
