Example front cover and contents page

Front Cover - before

Here I began to edit my main image for my front cover. I adjusted the exposure and offset to make the image brighter.

Here I adjusted the colour undertones to make the image appear more vibrant and slightly less warm toned as I feel this suited my magazine more.

First I used image manipulation by selecting the background using the quick selection tool and selecting inverse to crop the background out. I then added the brick wall to the background and faded it out to look more like a magazine. I then added other features such as draft coverlines.

I added a stroke to the magazine name, main coverline and other coverlines to make them stand out. I also cropped and imported secondary images as well as boxes to highlight the coverlines. I added inner glow and outer contour to the boxes to make them appear less flat.

(Image manipulation: changing background colour) >>Here I used image manipulation again to alter the background colour of the bricks to fit in with the rock theme more, to stand out and to look more vibrant.

Contents page

To begin my contents page I added a main image to the top half as well as keeping the same magazine title and ripped edging at the top. I added strokes to the main covelines and I also added a signed editorial. I imported secondary images and my page listings as well as boxing them into suitable sections.

Here I manipulated the main image to appear more vibrant and saturated so it looks less dull and is eye catching to the audience. I imported another secondary image which I edited on a second presentation and included the artist names and page number with each picture.
