CREATING MY CONTENT PAGE

By Halima Khan

Content page

I decided to use the same type of page layout as I did for the front cover. The reason being is so the audience recognize that the content page belongs to “N hits” magazine. I also wanted to keep it as simple as possible, seeing as I will be including quite a large chunk of text, therefore didn't’t want to over do it and make the cover page look messy, and confusing for the reader.

Choosing the main picture for my content page

I had taken a number of pictures I different outfits and poses, and edited them with the use of Photoshop. However after deciding to use a close up image of my model on the front cover, I decided to use the fourth image simply because it was a similar pose to the front cover. The reason why I didn't’t use the other three and chose the fourth one is because it would be easier for the audience to distinguish what magazine the image is from, seeing as both the cover and content pose is pretty similar in comparison to the rest of the images.

EDITING THE MAIN IMAGE

With the help of Photoshop I edited my front cover image. I used “photo filter- magenta” to add pinkness to the image, alongside brightened the image with a tinge of contrast. One is able to easily identify that I have edited this image a lot more in comparison to the images used on my front cover and double page spread. The reason being is because I felt the edited as shown on the left went well with the design of the content page and flowed really well.

Logo and image

I used a very bright, rich red for the cover alongside double page spread, however the front cover was a lot more simple. I wanted to balance it out by allowing the audience to distinguish the difference between the cover/double page spread, and the content page. However, I kept the obvious logo of “N” on both pages to allow the audience to notify that both pages are from one magazine.

PHOTOSHOP AND QUARK

I also used Photoshop and quark on my content page, alongside double page spread, however I have explained in my previous power point ( cover ) about all the tools I used on each program, in detail.
