Front Cover Production Log

Photo Shop-Stage 1

• The first stage of my production was to flip the image for my back ground horizontally.

• I then change the saturation and made the picture black and white.

InDesign-Stage 2

• After transferring my image on to InDesign I added a text frame on the top of my front cover and added my text with two fonts I downloaded off DaFonts.com for my skyline.

• I then added my masthead, which I made translucent.

InDesign-Stage 3

• I made my mast head transparent by selecting the text and the selecting effect after right clicking. I then selected transparency and the went on to adjust the settings to 89%.

InDesign-Stage 4

• I then added a barcode image and the price with the text tool which I rotated vertically. • I followed by added a my album review I did this by layering a text on top of the Ellipse tool

and the grouping them by dragging the cursor over all the items and selecting group, I then scaled down the grouped object.

• I then added used the rectangle tool to construct the positioning of my cover lines. The main cover like I made the rectangles for them translucent to make them stand out more, by following the same technique for my mast head.

InDesign-Stage 5

• I added my supporting cover lines with a font I found on DaFonts.com, I added my main cover line adjusting the font size so it is larger that the other fonts.

• I also changed the colour of the font this was to relate to the main cover line by highlighting the letter and selecting a swatch.

InDesign-Stage 6

• I then constructed circles to place over the text to add another element to my front cover I did this by using the Ellipse tool I then when on to add all 4 of there elements.
