contents page experimentation

 i experimented with backgrounds on my contents page and eventually settled for this scattered appearance on the edges of the page. to do this i firstly copied the background, i then started to experiment with different effects and then came across this abstract looking pattern, accompanied with the effects i added before. i then then adjusted the levels to find the correct amount of effect as too much started to interfere with the text making it become unreadable.

contents page development

when constructing my contents page i tried to follow the traditional style of using an organized and formal format, i've done this by adding lines throughout the contents dividing each segment of writing into its own paragraph making it clear and easy to follow. The main subjects e.g. headings and sub-heading i have added effects to vary them slightly from the rest of the fonts.

front cover so far

opinions?

 There are several layers within the front cover which makes the layer
positioning essential as to which they order they lay on the magazine
front cover. within the layers i have also effects to refine the layers to
my specification. The layers such as the background are locked as i
dont want to customize this anymore, the other layers are still open so i can manipulate and arrange them.
