Contents Draft 3

I forgot to post this, but this is my third and (I think) final draft of my contents page, with which I'm very please!

Making of my first DPS draft

1) Plain lilac background

2) Floral pattern added
>divide blending mode
>reduced opacity

3)Grunge background added
>multiply blending mode
reduced opacity

4) Main image added
>White background erased with very soft edge eraser tool

5) Text added
>Shaped around image
>Key words made bigger

6) Drop shadow effect achieved by adding key words under
the white text but in different, darker colour

7) Article text added

8) Opaque box added behind text to make words stand out

9) Other images added and another block of text with box behind to help it stand out

Finished!

However, it can be improved.

• The block of text is too big and wide, which makes it less enticing to read as it looks like a whole lot of text.
• > To improve, I'll section it into columns

• The fold line is down the middle, meaning that the main image is on the fold which would look bad when the article is published
• > I'll make the image smaller so it doesn't fall along the fold line

• The article lacks an introduction and editors/photographers detail
• > They will be added in

• There are no page numbers
• More images and general 'stuff' on the page
