Third Graphic: DPS Ad

This is the DPS or Double Page Advertisement I made for TGO magazine, which is specialist magazine for outdoor enthusiasts, mainly those who are interested in camping and other mountaineering activities. Its main purpose was to advertise the store, the staffs and the catalogues available. The page format was set to A5, to fit both pages of the magazine. I have only used basic shapes, images and text to create the whole thing. So, there is no complicated editing tools and techniques used to create this.

Before getting started, I used the Grid guideline to help me draw a straight line half way on the page. The grid can be enabled by going to View> Show >Grid.

After that, I created a Rounded Rectangle Shape for one of the page. I started adding the rectangle boxes, where all of the information goes. All of these shapes can be accessed by right clicking on the Custom Shape Tool and selecting any desired tool to draw the shape.

Once all of the background details were added, I started inserting images. No further editing nor manipulation has been done on these images so it was quick and easy for me. The first image was taken from one of the TGO magazine. The brand images come from their own respected websites and I kept them here as an example of the brand clothing found in the store. The picture with the guy holding the cardboard image is one of the worker of Ellis Brigham from the store in Covent Garden. I found that picture here:- http://benpepper.com/ben-pepper-luggage-tsa-ellis-brigham-covent-garden-london-store The picture with the woman statue was taken on one of the museum in Nepal by myself.

I simply added the text afterwards, making use of the simple colour, various fonts and bold characters. The little circle on the other page located on the bottom left was made using the Custom Shape Tool> Shapes >Grime Vector Pack. 

And with the added text, including information on the website:-
