Here I cropped the photo to get rid of the shadow of the camera and to get rid of some of the blank space.

Used the healing brush to remove any baby hairs on her forehead and I used the stop healing brush to remove spots or blemishes

Here i added a grey background onto the photo of my main artist in my magazine.

Here i removed the background surrounding the artist.

2nd Draft Construction of My Contents Page

Here is the step by step of how i developed my 2nd draft of my contents page with the help of my peer feedback.

Here i changed the one page contents page into a double page contents page, i done this so i was able to get more information on the pages. I made the main artist who is featured on the dps the biggest pictures as she is who is featured on the dps. i made the regualrs, features and editoral into colloum as they are easier to navigate like that. i placed the masthead on the contents page to remind them that it is revive magazine.

Here is added social media icons to allow the readers to follows us to keep up to date on the latest issues of the magazine. I made the page numbers that are on the photos bigger so its easy to navigate around. I placed more photos of what is to be featured in the magazine so that you can see what kind of features and regulars are in the magazine.

Here i place the background which i used for the front cover on the contents page to stay with the house style and to take away some of the white space. i also changed the puff to make it the house colours of the magazine.

Duplicate layer magic wand tool and rubber to delete background. 

Construction Of My Contents Page

Here is the step by step of how i constructed my content page using InDesign.

Here I placed a tumb nail image of the cover in the top left corner of the contents page and place a image of the main artist who is featuring on my dps. I put contents at the bottom right corner going vertical up and I used an abbreviation at the top right corner which says RM 2015 Which means revive magazine 2015 I also put the slogan of the magazine on the contents page. I put the date, website,name and page number at the bottom of the page.

I added my house colours to my contents page and put my features and regulars into columns. I used different text or the name of the article and the blurb so it would stand out on the page. I changed the page number to a different colour too so it stands out also.

I added the page number to the photos so the content page is easy to navigate around.
