Skills project for contents page
For my background I used one of the
colours in the background on my
front cover, I used the eye dropper
tool to click on the colour I wanted, it
then stored it on the set background
colour block. When I clicked the fill
bucket tool and clicked on my
contents page it made it my
background colour.
For one of my pictures on
my contents I changed the
opacity, by double clicking
on the layer and lowering
the opacity dial down to
71%. The reason I done this
was so it blended into the
background slightly so I
could put items such as text
over the top.
I decided to give the image extra
effect by copy and pasting another
one of the same image over the
top. I changed the image to black
and white by clicking on, image,
adjustments, then simply clicking
on black and white. I then changed
the opacity of the image to match
the one underneath it. So I
changed the opacity to 71% again.
The reason I changed the opacity
is so you could still see the image
underneath, so it will have a better
effect.
For my plug box, I used the
rectangular marquee tool to
draw it, then the paint bucket
tool to fill it. Once again I used
the eye dropper tool and used a
purple of my front cover to fill
the box. I did this for the other
plug box on my contents page,
but just simply used a different
colour of my front cover
background.
For my box behind the main title
I simply just drew a box with the
rectangular marquee tool and
filled it with the paint bucket tool.
The colour I filled it with I still
used from my front cover just
like I mentioned before. I also
changed the opacity of the box
by lowering it to 59% this is so it
blended in with the background
slightly, and didn’t overpower my
main title.
For all of the text on my contents I
used the stroke tool and changed the
colour to purple to make the text
stand out. I only put the size of the
stroke to 2% because I didn’t want it
to overpower the writing and make it
look messy and un-readable.
