Experimenting with fonts and placing of titles/mastheads
I felt that the use of Impact Label for the contents title didn’t fit as I had
used it previously for my Student
magazine. It looks quite fanzine and
therefore less professional.
Using Double Feature for the
contents title was much more
befitting of an obscure house style. As well as
showing a continuity of
house style it also shows brand
identity is consistent
because I’ve used the same font for both the contents
title and the masthead of my
magazine.
Adding image to contents title
I felt that having a block colour for the contents title was too simplistic and didn’t test my skill. I liked the challenge of adding image to text in Photoshop. Also I was having problems with getting the perfect block colour for my contents
title so I thought it was more interesting to add and image instead. I went with something similar to the masthead but not the same. The image was still holographic but not snakeskin and therefore shows variety and keeps the audience interested. It also shows continuity of house style as the mastheads are similar. It’s italicised purposely to stray away
from the generic conventions of magazines, anchoring the obscure style of the magazine.
How i added image to text:
I used an online tutorial to find out how to add image to text in Photoshop. It taught me to duplicate the background layer, add a blank new layer
between the two layers. Then fill the new layer white, select layer 1, set white as my foreground, drag the text layer below layer 1, then re-select
layer 1 and create a clipping mask. http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photoshop-text/text-effects/image-in-text/
More detail added
Here I have added images and page numbers to my contents pages, as well as a free CD and magazine segments. I still need to add more detail to page descriptions, and perhaps social
network addresses.
Adding social network addresses
I added social network addresses to my contents page to make my magazine more accessible to my audience.
Almost complete contents pages
Here is my almost complete contents pages; I just need to polish them up. There are some obvious spelling mistakes and layout issues that need fixing but overall it’s nearly complete.
