Context and Double Page Spread

Progress of Context

Progress of Context

I started my context page with a simple background that graded from black at the bottom to white at the top matching the background of my front cover creating a theme.

Then i started creating a context headline by first using the cut the crap font to creating the text. Then i created a this circle adding a scratch inside adding a nice affect.

I then i started adding my main image of the context. However first i edit the photo in photoshop by taking away the background of the image. The main image is usually the main story in the magazine and link to the main image on the context page.

I then i added a banner for my main  image telling you what the image is all about which is the banned "9 tales" and what page is the story is on "16". I created the banner by first having a white background to make it stand out, after that i added the text using the font Cambria. After that i created a star affect as a big expiration point, by doing this it makes the banner stand out more.

The final step I have done is starting to create the index which is the main feature on this page as it is the main purpose of this page. I have used a white background for the index as it is easy to see the text on it also a i can use a wider range of colour on it. Then I split the different into section by using a black rectangle and placing the story into a category for example "album" which is story of different albums.
