Double page spread editing process

Stacked Magazine

Step 1…

The first thing I had to do was selecting my image and placing it across both pages so that it acted as a background. To do this I used the image tool and dragged the image around till it fit where I needed it to.

Step 2…

The next thing I had to do was select the boxes in which my text would be placed. I used the rectangle tool to place them how I wanted and then used the colour brush to select a red that matched my cover and contents.

Step 3…

I then moved on to inserting my text. To do this I imported my word document in segments into various text boxes. So I had free reign over where I placed my text.

Step 4…

The next step was to insert quotes from the text. In the red boxes, I placed text in from the interview and changed the colour and font using the text tool.

Step 5…

For the quote at the top I had to place a drop shadow using the edit text tool.

Step 6…

To create the ripped page box, I first had to create it in Photoshop and then insert it as a JPEG image on this Quark document. I also placed a new artist banner; I decreased the opacity in ‘edit shape’ and then used the text tool to place the text over it.

Step 7…

I then downloaded a font from dafont.com and placed the text in the ripped page effect using text tool.

Step 8…

To finish it up I then placed text next to it using the text tool. I then used the rectangle and text tool to place page numbers in and once this was done, my DPS was complete.
