SCREEN SHOTS.

Here I took some screenshots of how I was working and what tools I was using to create my front cover, contents page and double page spread. Also, I have screenshot what the pages would of looked like if I had used different colours or a different layout for certain parts of the page.

For the screenshot above I changed the colour of all the text to white, I thought that having all the text in white made the page seem a bit boring and would probably become boring and uninteresting to read after a while.

In this shot I changed the alternating text to orange because i thought an orange theme might go well because some of my album photos had orange tones in them. I liked the orange colour scheme but I decided I liked another colour better.

I shot screened this to show a tool I was using, the tool is called 'swatches' and this allows me to changed the colour of the font and allowed me to have an outline around my text.  The software I was using was called InDesign.

In this shot I am showing the toolI used to create the gradient effect I used on the front cover and the contents page. 

In this shot I changed the colour of the text 'Contents' to red with a white outline to see if it made the page look better. I didn't really like the text in red, I thought it made the page look taccy and unconventional.

Here I decided to keep the text white and change the colour of the outline to red, but I didn't like it and I didn't think it fitted in well with the rest of the page.

And then I changed the colour of the font to yellow to see if a colour within the theme would go well as the colour for the text, but I thought having the word 'Contents' in yellow made the colour yellow too dominant on the page.

I changed the X&O to red but it wasn't as eye-catching and blended in with her headband and I didn't want the masthead blending in I wanted it to stand out.
