Putting Together My Table of Contents


     FLOWERS! I finally got to add my flowers like I said I would at the beginning of this project! I feel like the table of contents is my favorite part of my magazine so far and I am now going to explain how I put it all together.
     At first I thought I was going to use the picture to the right as my main picture. So I started editing that one and I didn't really like how I had that hair in my face so I went on photoshop and added hair using the healing tool. That was really cool because I would have never thought that I would be editing photos to that extent. Once I finished, I thought that the edit looked a little odd and then I realized that I didn't really want to use that picture because I wouldn't know where to put my anchorage.
Eventually, I decided on the picture to the left. Originally it was one picture but I as able to split it in photoshop and even add the page numbers around each of the models. That was really neat as well. I used the text on path tool to be able to do that then I saved the picture and started working over in InDesign.At InDesign I picked out the pastel pink for the background and then inserted the photos, one on the left and another on the right. I started adding articles to the middle and as I was working I realized that the table of contents looked bare. That is when I remembered that I had taken various pictures of the flowers and plants in my backyard just in case I needed additional pictures. I looked through those pictures and I picked out 4 which I framed in a circle and added behind the models. Once I added that I felt the table of contents was complete.
    Overall, I LOVE my table of contents and would not change a single thing about it and since I had already had experience with the programs I was able to add more advanced effects like the page number around the model and the circle frame for the pictures.
