Working Progress Of DPS

This screenshot presents the different items of lip products which I sourced from the internet, to be used for my make up page - which is mainly centred around lip based products.

I found these drawings of different beauty products on a fashion blog on the internet. This gave me inspiration to draw my own products for my make up double page spread.

To do this I printed off a couple of pages containing pictures of lip products i wished to use. I then used the light box to help trace the drawings using opaque paper with a black fine liner. When i was happy with the drawings I had produced, I scanned in each page and put them in photoshop so i could edit them and colour them in.

Once scanned in I inserted them in Photoshop and altered the levels so that they were black and white. I removed the background so that it was transparent and created one layer called Ink, and another called colour. Whilst on the colour layer I used the lasso tool to select an area of the drawing that i wished to colour and pressed Shift and Backspace and chose the colour I wanted.

Once they were all coloured I saved each product as a PNG with a transparent background so that it could be imported into Indesign.

I created a brief plan on Photoshop with the makeup products I was using so I could use the space of the document effectively and could play around with they type of the title.

 I then imported the makeup drawings and also imported my photo. Here is a screenshot of my DPS in working progress in InDesign.

Here is a zoomed in screenshot of my nearly finished product in InDesign. I did this as you can clearly see the fonts I chose, bits of the drawings, the picture, the graphic and parts of the caption.
