Front cover 2nd draft

I first used my own image of Emilywhich was a mid shot, I used thisbecause it was intense enough tofocus on just Emily and also becauseit left no room for distractions.After changing the image to black andwhite I had to add my masthead whichwas the white ‘R’ in the blue box.This was simple as all I needed to dowas copy one image on top of another.

After the masthead Iadded the headline whichread ‘EMILY HAYES’, itwas simple and eyecatching and sat on theright hand side of mymasthead like othermagazine layouts show.

After creating my mainheadline, I then createdmy sub heading whichuses the same font andcolour as the headlinebut sits under it in asmall font size.

Writing colour- I wanted tochange the font colour towhite as I thought the blackwas too harsh but I cameacross and issue which meantthat the white writing washard to read against theblack and white image so Idecided to tamper with theimage of Emily

Image- Using theImage tab, thenadjustments, Iwas able to tonedown thebrightness whichmade the whitewriting easierto read.

The subheadingseemed to blend intoo much with theheading so Idecided to colourco-ordinate it withthe masthead blueand so it resultedin the subheadingstanding out more.

Underneath the heading andsubheading I added a postsaying ’10-PAGE SPECIALINSIDE’ I wanted this tostand out therefore put iton a different colourpattern to the rest of thewriting so far. The twoquotes underneath alsostood out which I was happywith as I want to readersattention to be drawn tothem.

Lure- Making my lurewas the easiest partas it was a plaincircle with anothercircle inside which Imade opaque as it gaveof a moresophisticated andedgier effect.

Inside the lure Iadded a piece ofwriting unattachedto the mainheadline and used adifferent font forthe number 25 so itis clear it is anunrelated piece oftext.

Left third-The left thirdmentions two otherunrelated articleswhich are inside, oneon interviews and theother on dates not tomiss. I madesubheadings which areplaced above opaqueboxes so that theopaque theme remainsand that they standout from the rest ofthe writingunderneath.

Barcode- Addingthe barcode wassimple as all Ineeded to dowas open up thealready savedimage of it andplace it at thebottom rightcorner of mymagazine

Contents page 2nd draft

First I opened up theimage and adjusted theHue/Saturation to makethe colours brighter. Ithen flipped the imagevertically so that was Iadd the writing on thecontents page the imageis not entirely covered.

Sticking with theopaque box theme Iadded two long opaquerectangles verticallyand horizontally towhere my writingshall lay. This willmake the writingclearer to read.

Once again I hadto open up animage of themasthead and copyit directly ontothe magazinecontents page. Themasthead sitsbehind the opaquebox giving thecontents page alittle somethingdifferent.

Under where themasthead sits iswhere my articletitles will be so Iadded a self madeunited kingdom flagto sit there as itrelates to my firstpaged article.

I then addedmy ‘CONTENTS’title and myfirst articletitle andpage number.

After continuouslyadding other articletitles I added anotherpicture of Emily whichrelates to the mainarticle down the bottomleft corner. I alsoadded large white pagenumbers so that it isclear where the articlesare located.

Double page spread 2nd draft

When creating mydouble page spread Ineeded to use two A4documents to representmy double page. Thefirst page I copied animage of Emily holdinga guitar and for thesecond I had to cropsome of the leavesfrom the previousimage and spread itout to fill the wholepage.

The second page contains all the writing and it wasquite simple to create. Using the opaque boxed Imade the headline which reads ‘EMILY IS BACK WITH ABANG’. The ‘BANG’ is in a larger font as I wantedthis word to stand out the most. The actual articleis written underneath in three columns onwhite, small writing. The two paragraphs insidebegins with larger letters just like professionalmagazines and this gives of a more sophisticated andprofessional look to my magazine.
