FINAL CUT OF CONTENTS PAGE


As a final finishing touch, on the left hand bottom corner I added “Cover and this page: Rose More photographed by Danielle Scott in London City, April 2nd, 2013” in the same format as that of my research. I also added “April 2013 Sense 5” on the bottom right hand corner, also in the same format as that of my research.

Here is my final version of my contents page.

Completion of Contents Page: Part 2


I also used the title of “contents” from my research, as inspiration for my own. I based my own on the format of that of my research; having the work spread over three lines. I felt the format of the contents title in my research was rather boring and plain, and I wanted to make my own more interesting whilst still using my research as a basis. I didnt want to go too overboard, making it look messy, nor did i want to under edit it, as though i had copied my research to the tee.
Therefore, I added my own twist on it, by changing the font of certain letters, and having the layout as ‘con-ten-ts’ as opposed to my research, ‘co-nten-ts’. As you can see, my research has ‘contents’ adjacent to the left, whereas my title is adjacent to the right. Lastly, I included the ‘1/3’ to the bottom left of my title, signifying this is the first of 3 contents pages.

I opened my final image onto 'Indesign' and began the completion of my contents page.
I based my own contents page quite closely on one that I looked at in my research. I included the word "features" as subtitle, copying the format, and the caligraphic text is a very similar font. I also based my magazines contents list format on my research; the page numbers (in a bold font, standing out)at the beginning, then the features title in capitals, a different colour to the feature explanation making it stand out as well. The feature explanation is in an ordinary, lowercase text, and each feature is divided by a dotted line, as shown in my research.




Photo Editing Process: Part 2

When I deleted the monkey face, there was a solid image left behind which I had to remove/cover up. I used the cloning tool to clone the background and cover the image I didn’t want.
Here is my final, edited image.

Photo Editing Process: Part 1


To come up with the final image I planned to use on my contents page, I used a programme called ‘Picmonkey’:
 
 


I opened my chosen photograph onto the programme, touched up the brightness and tweeked the models face. I then added a premium effect I liked which meant I’d have to find a way to remove the monkey face from the bottom left hand corner of my image.
 
I opened the edited image onto photoshop and seleted the whole monkey face. I then deleted it.

Chosen Photograph for Contents Page

Here is the photograph I have decided to use on my contents page. As I said previously, I was looking to use a face shot, rather than a full length image, on my contents page as the model on my front cover is posing in a full length image.
I particularly liked this image as the detail of her face/ facial structure is very distinct and strong. Though she is not making eye contact with the camera, the expression in her face conveys the calm intensity I was hoping to portray for my contents page image (this kind of look is seen and supported in my research).

Contents Page Photoshoot: Part 1

Here is the collection of most of the images I took for my contents page. As you can see, they are generally face orientated.
