For my index page, I wanted to follow some of the designs I saw when conducting my research. The idea which stood out to me the most was using an image of the sixth form grounds as a faded out background, I got this idea from Edinburgh University's prospectus.
Firstly I had to choose an image which I wanted to use for my background. Since I had already used photos of the entrances for my front cover I couldn't use those, so I decided using a photo featuring the yard and some buildings would go well as a background.
I then opened up the image with photoshop and positioned it on the left-hand side as I am wanting this to be the second page, as that is usually where it is presented. I had already messed on slightly with the brightness and contrast in-between taking the image and placing it onto photoshop.
As I had now placed the image where I was wanting it, following my flat plans, I could now begin to adjust the opacity.
This is how the image turned out once I had found the level of opacity I had hoped for, my next step will be to add text.
