InDesign Challenge Task 4

 

I used InDesign to create this broadsheet front cover. I used tools like the text box and shape making tool. I used place holder option to fill large paragraphs and make it look more full. I had to ensure everything was fit to place and looked neat and presentable. I used many tools to create my InDesign broadsheet which allowed me to perfect it. An example of a tool i used was the line tool. When using it i felt the shift key to keep the line straight and could also increase the width of the lines. This was used to create boarders and breakers.

Initially i placed in all the pictures from the shared file into InDesign in order to gather images and resources i could use for my broadsheet. The place holder text tool became very useful when i had to fill large amounts of texts. Also, instead of stretching the images out and risking losing resolution on my images i first selected the image and in the top tool bar i increase it’s proportions so that it would remain clear and didn’t become blurry. 

Landscape

• Add text "Landscape"
• Use Marquee tool to add a box under the Text. Holding shift i used magic wand to select the text and the saved the  selection.
• I imported an image of a Forrest and then loaded the selection.
• I used Ctrl+Shift+I to select the outside of the selection.
• I then pressed delete to remove the rest of the background and this will keep the Landscape Text and the part of the forest underneath.
• I added a black background and made it the bottom layer for it to be behind.

Filters

 

Filters - To apply the filters to the different images, I firstly went on google and found images that I wanted. I then pasted them into photoshop using CTRL+V. I then made sure I had the correct layer selected and then I went over to the filtered tab and pressed filter gallery. Once I did this, I chose one of the filters that I liked. Sometimes the filter by itself wasn't good enough so I edited it using the sliding buttons that changed the way the filter effected the image. I repeated this 6 times and sometimes applying 2 filters to the same image. Personally I find the Glowing edges filter the best add it highlights key areas and makes them pop.
