QUESTION 6: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGIES?

To create the front cover I used a range of tools that were provided to me by Photoshop.

I cut out the main image by using the lasso tool so that I was able to create a custom background by simply adding a plain black rectangle using the shape tool and a red glow using the brush tool and changing the opacity.

I made the cover lines by creating a text box adding the relevant text then changed the font to the correct style, size and colour. I then added a stroke effect to give the text an outline and a drop shadow to give it a 3D look.

To create the banner at the bottom I used the shape tool and I added the barcode by inserting the image from my personal file

To create the background I did the same as I did on the front cover by simply adding a plain black rectangle using the shape tool and a red glow using the brush tool and changing the opacity.

I cut out the image slightly differently than I did on the front cover as I used the magic wand tool to remover the main parts and then went round edges with the eraser tool.

I created the rectangles by using the shape tool, the same as the front cover

The text was created the exact same way as on the front cover so that it will keep in with the house style

To create the background all I did was insert the image into InDesign and then change the size of the image to fit size of the double page spread.

creating a text box adding the relevant text then changed the font to the correct style, size and colour. I then added a stroke effect to give the text an outline and a drop shadow to give it a 3D look and stand out from the background

To create the columns I selected a number (2) from the drop down menu from the tool bar at the top of the page.
