1. Firstly I opened InDesign and created a new document. This consisted of me having to adjust the measurements in order for my document to be set up as a double page spread. I then dragged the two pages together to form a double page (as seen below) 2. I then selected the line tool in order to create a boarder around my DPS. This is because a convention which I found was present on existing DPS’s was a boarder around the edge of the page. 3. I then changed the thickness of the lines to3 points so it was visible however not over powering.

1. Firstly I opened InDesign and created a new document. This consisted of me having to adjust the measurements in order for my document to be set up as a double page spread. I then dragged the two pages together to form a double page (as seen below)
2. I then selected the line tool in order to create a boarder around my DPS. This is because a convention which I found was present on existing DPS’s was a boarder around the edge of the page.
3. I then changed the thickness of the lines to3 points so it was visible however not over powering.
4. Below is the complete border which is followed around the edge of the DPS.
5. From my plan which was on paper I then began to construct my layout of my DPS on InDesign. I did this by selecting the rectangle frame tool for where I wanted to add an image and the type tool where I wanted there to be text.
6. I firstly selected the type tool box where the title of the film would be and typed in ‘WOODEND.’ I used caps lock as I felt it would allow the title of the film to stand out.
7. I then adjusted the spacing between the letters to -80.
8. I Then in adjusted the font size to a smaller size, for the date that film which was the date of the realsing of the film.
1. Although I adjested th e font to be smaller I wanted to icreasr the hight of the text. I increased the hight of the text by 92%.
10. After this I changed the font into Bold Cond as I felt it looked more appealing and would gain the audience attention better.
1. For the film review rating I placed a star from google images onto fireworks, where I removed the white background using the magic wand tool.
9. I then rescaled the star to make it smaller.
10. I then placed the star images onto my DPS, where I found they were too large therefore I rescaled them so they would fit into the box which was designated for them.
11. I then copied and pasted the star 5 times and placed them next to each other.
12. After this I began to place the images
13. I found that some images were too dark, therefore I edited them via Fireworks where I adjusted the brightness and contrast.
14. Below is the edited version of my picture.
15. Once I edited the pictures I placed them onto the DPS following the template which I had created.
16. Below I edited this image again via Fireworks adjusting the brightness and contrast.
17.
18. After this I was ready to start adding the content onto my DPS. I kept the font Minion Pro to keep consistency on the DPS.
19. I then aligned the text.
20. Below is my DPS with content with the images.
21. From feedback I found that columns were needed on the DPS, therefore I added columns with a gutter for my text.
