When Photoshop is opened, the first thing to do is to find the word “File” at the top of the computer screen and when highlighted then click on “New”. A box will then appear. The Document Type must be International Paper, if the Document Type does not say International Paper but something else it can be changed by clicking a visible arrow facing downwards which then shows the different Document Types available. It is at this moment when you click on International Paper, when this is done click OK.

After clicking OK, this should appear on the computer screen.

To rotate the “background” go to the top of Photoshop to “Image” find “Image Rotation” and click either “90 degrees Clockwise” or “90 degrees Counter Clockwise”.

After clicking “90 degrees Clockwise” or “90 degrees Counter Clockwise” the background should look like this.

To get the image that is going to be used for my first Fashion Spread for “Teen Rulez!” go to the top of the screen (shown in the previous slideshow) and find the word “File” and when highlighted then click on “Open”. After this find the image and open it. It should then should appear in a new tab in Photoshop.

To get the image onto the Fashion Spread 1 tab highlight the whole image from whichever corner using the Rectangular Marquee Tool (which can be seen highlighted) with the left side of the mouse. When this is done go to the top of the page, find the word “Edit” and when highlighted then click on “Copy”.

When back on the Fashion Spread 1 tab go to the top of the screen, find the word “Edit” and when highlighted click on “Paste”. After this the image copied should appear on the screen.

To make the image bigger without spreading it start by going to the top of the screen finding the word “Edit” and when highlighted click on “Free Transform”. After this the image would look like this. Make sure that the image layer (Layer 1) is highlighted.

The next step in making the image bigger without spreading it to move the image when highlighted after clicking “Free Transform” to the top left corner, when this is done hold and drag the bottom right corner of the image using the left side of the mouse and hold the “Shift” button on the keyboard to the bottom of the page. After this the image would look like this.

Click the “Enter” key to make the whole image visible and to confirm the changes to the image.

The next part of creating the first Fashion Spread for “Teen Rulez!” is creating the Headline. Firstly, select the Horizontal Type Tool and click and drag a box where the Headline will be typed up.

Type the Headline in your chosen colour, choice of font and size of the font, in this case I am using the colour Red, the font size is 48 pt and the chosen front is Viner Hand ITC. To improve the Headline I will use a Black outline.

To get a Black outline for the Headline make sure the “Crampton In Da’ House!!!” layer is highlighted and go to the top of the screen, find the word “Layer” find the words “Layer Style” and click either “Drop Shadow” or “Stroke”.

When “Stroke” is clicked change the position to “Outside”, this will be where the outline will be. I also changed the size of the outline from 1 px to 30 px and I make the colour of the outline Black. Once this is done click OK, the Layer Style box will then disappear and will be returned to the Fashion Spread 1 tab in Photoshop.

The finished and edited Headline.

The next part of creating the first Fashion Spread for “Teen Rulez!” is creating the Credentials for the model and photographer. Firstly, select the Horizontal Type Tool and click and drag a box where the Credentials will be typed up.

Type the Credentials in your chosen colour, choice of font and size of the font, in this case I am using the colour Red, the font size is 23 pt and the chosen front is Viner Hand ITC. To improve the Credentials I will use a Black outline.

To get a Black outline for the Credentials make sure the “Model: James Crampton Photographer: Christian Crampton” layer is highlighted and go to the top of the screen, find the word “Layer” find the words “Layer Style” and click either “Drop Shadow” or “Stroke”.

When “Stroke” is clicked change the position to “Outside”, this will be where the outline will be. I also changed the size of the outline from 1 px to 10 px and I make the colour of the outline Black. Once this is done click OK, the Layer Style box will then disappear and will be returned to the Fashion Spread 1 tab in Photoshop.

The finished and edited Credentials.

The next and final part of creating the first Fashion Spread for “Teen Rulez!” is creating the Costume Information for the first Fashion Spread. Firstly, select the Horizontal Type Tool and click and drag a box where the Costume Information will be typed up.
