Contents page - completed

This image above is what inspired me on the layout of my contents page. 

So my Contents Page is now finished.I am happy with the outcome but if I had more time, I would change the picture of him on the left. This is because the image is darker than the image on the right. However, to try and make both the images match, I used played around the colour to ensure both images are the same gradient. I done this by using photoshop. I done this by using the image tool and using the adjustments to play around the gradient, the brightness, the contrast until both images look similar. However, I wanted to include an editors note, but there was not enough space. By adding a drop shadow around both images, it shows the images are not floating and makes it stand out much more. By adding lines to seperate the features, it organises the layout of the text. Now looking back, the '17' does not stand out which if I could re do, I would add a drop shadow to make it stand out much more. I believe the masthead of the 'contents' could be much more bolder and I would change it. However, I believe more thought could've gone into the layout as there is not much really going on.

The print screen here explains on the tool I used to brighten my pictures. I had to change the brightness/contrast because originally, both images were not the same. However, if I had more time, I would have used Picasa. This programme is much more professional in terms of brightening and changing the colour of the images. However, I am happy with the outcome of both of images and the layout.
