Working Progress Screengrabs: Contents Page

This image shows my contents page split into three columns with the inserted image of my magazine title.

This shows two of my images on the contents page with numbers on them to anchor them to the written article.

My contents page with the first draft of pictures which some were changed later.

This is when I have inserted the content and altered the colours, font and rearranging the text around the images.

I was unable to create a gradient backgroun on Quark Xpress. This means I made one on Photoshop and saved it as a jpeg. I was then able to instert it as an image on the contents page.

This screen grab shows my contents page with the new background and final images with all the written content.

Working Progress Screengrabs: Front Cover

This screengrab shows my front cover complete at a first draft. I later slightly altered this by making finishing changes.
This shows my altering the type size of the text in the strip at the bottom to make it smaller and adding another artist.
This shows me making small changes to the coverlines by adding effects. In this case I was adding a shaddow to make the coverlines stand out.
