My Original Image

Stage 3- I added my sell lines & changed the colour of them to make them stand out on my page

Stage 4- I added a bar code, price and a date

Stage 5- I then changed the font styles to fit in more with the genres of music for my magazine , and I added more levels to the photo to emphasize Dana more and make her stand out on the page

Stage 6- I changed the price for my magazine to fit in more with the amount of pages and standard of the magazine

Stage 7- Finally I added a black footer to my magazine and advertised more artists within the magazine to make it seem jam packed and appealing

Contents Page

Stage One- I used a gradient for the background for two thirds of the page

Stage Two- I Created a Contents heading using www.dafont.com and added a stroke to make the heading stand out more on the page

Stage Three- I Inserted a box as a Column for the one side of my magazine and coloured it black so that my text stands out more on the page

Stage Four- Again using dafont, I created the letters ‘R’ and ‘B’ and the words ‘hip’ and ‘hop’ for the headings on my contents page, I also used musical notes instead of apostrophe’s in between the letter R’N’B

Stage five- I added my “featured” subtitles and the artists and page numbers for both sections of my magazine

Stage Six-I added the images that I wanted on my contents Page and used Adobe Photoshop to make the background of the images white so that they were consistent and looked similar to make my magazine feel more professional

Stage six- Under the three images I added text related to them and to tell the reader more information about what is in my magazine

Stage seven- I then added another subheading and information to show what else there is in my magazine and a ‘PLUS’ subheading to tell the reader the other sorts of things that the magazine provides and to make my magazine seem jam packed with information and fun

Stage 8- Then I added information in the bottom right hand corner of my contents page to tell the reader how they can subscribe to my magazine and to advertise the offer that is given when the reader subscribes. I also added the Date of this magazine next to the contents heading so the reader can keep up to date with each issue of the magazine

Stage 9- I then moved some of the text boxes and images round and added another image of a lad to add some variation to my magazine. I removed the background on this image in Photoshop so that it fit better on the page

Stage 10- Finally I inserted the Masthead and page number into the bottom right hand corner of the contents page

Double page spreadStage 1- I added a black background to the one side of my double page spread

Stage 2- Then using www.dafont.com I created the word “EXCLUSIVE” and inserted it onto the page

Stage 3- I wrote the artists name underneath this title so that the audience know who this interview is about

Stage 4 – I created my interview and then inserted onto the page and created columns to make it look more like a magazine. I then changed the colour of the questions to separate them from the answers and make the interview more clear

Stage 5- I inserted the masthead in the bottom right hand corner of the page to keep consistency within the magazine and make it more professional and then put the page number next to it.

Stage 6- I inserted another image of the artist, I changed the levels of this in photo shop to emphasize the image and make it more eye catching.

Stage 6- I inserted an image which I edited in photo shop to get rid of the background so that she stood out more on the page.

Stage 9- I then inserted an image of the artist with her sisters to add more variation, and I made the background white to keep consistency within the magazine
