Music Magazine Double Page Spread Tools Used


Original Image




Step 1 - Crop 


I cropped the Image to a suitable size, so that the model was on the left portion of the page, leaving the background and right hand side of the page blank so I could input the text there.



Step 2 - Add Rectangle


I added the rectangle as the starting point of the process which makes the text mould around a shape, in this case, the model's shoulder.



Step 3 - Add Anchor Points


Using the 'Add Anchor' tool, I added more points which I could manipulate to change the shape of the rectangle, moulding it around the models shoulder.



Step 5 - Change Opacity


I then changed the opacity of the rectangle so I could see where the shoulder ended and the background began.



Step 5 - Move Anchor Point


I then moved the anchor points so that the box went around the shoulder and did not overlap.



Step 6 - Insert Text


I then added the text, so that it went around the shoulder and did not overlap.

Step 7 - Add Header Backgrounds


I then put in a dark grey rectangle behind the headers (each question) to make it stand out more.



Step 8 - Change Font Size + Colours


I then changed the fonts, colours and sizes, so that each question header was Orange with a grey background, size 15 font, all in capitals with a spacing of -100.
And the main body of writing (the answers) was also in Orator STD font, in a grey colour (the same grey as the header backgrounds) size 14 with a spacing of -100.
