Indesign skills development

I began my contents page in photoshop, where i used my previous knowledge of the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the bubble in my picture, and adjusted the hue/saturation of the new layer to make it purple. I did this so that the picture on my contents page would relate to my previous front cover colour
scheme of purple and orange. 

I now moved onto indesign. After creating my 3 columns, and appropriate bordering and guttering, created a new layer. It was here that i selected file, place to set my picture as the background for the contents.  






Once my picture was in place, i inserted text boxes over the top of it. I did this by drawing a text/picture box, and placing text from word into it. I then used the swatches on the right hand side to change the colour of the boxes as well as the text to match my colour scheme. I then used the select mouse (white mouse) to drag the lines of my text boxes away to create a more choppy effect.








After creating and editing my title, i created a new layer. It was here that i was able to use file, place again to import my image and move it to the correct position in my page. I developed it further from the screen grab by using the select mouse to rotate it diagonally to add more to my choppy,creative theme.

After drawing an appropriate text box, i used file place to get my editors note from word. This fitted to the shape of my column. I then used the select mouse to rotate the box to a diagonal angle, matching my text boxes. 

Lastly, i drew a box the size of my logo. I then pasted the CCN logo into the box. By selecting object, fitting and fit content to frame, i could make the logo the appropriate size.
