Contents Page Progress 1

I've now started to work on my contents page and decided on the colour scheme. I've split the page in two and made the right hand side the same colour as the cover and the left hand side a light grey colour. I will use the right hand side of the page to write the stories and the left hand side to write a top ten list which is similar to Billboard. I also added the titles off of 1001 fonts.
 
 


Magazine Cover Progress 5

Since my last post to fill up the cover slightly I added a smaller image into a white box in the towards the top of the page and added a relating cover line; which will once again relate to my target audience. To make the box stand out on the page I added a drop shadow. I also moved the cover lines around the page to allow space for the image.
 
 

Magazine Cover Progress 4

Since my last post I've added more story lines to my cover which my target audience will be interested in and focuses on celebrities that my primary audience are also interested in.
 
 
I used the same colour on the names of the celebrities that is on the cover stars jumper to create a house style.

Magazine Cover Progress 3

Since my last progress report I've added the social media links, including a website, to the cover; added the price, date and issue number as well as a barcode. I've also added a banner to the top of the cover.

 

Photoshop Work On Cover Image

I used the following image for my cover, the photo was took in the school green room to make sure that the image stood out when cut out on Photoshop.
 
 
Firstly I cut out the image using the magic eraser tool which got deleted the majority of the green background but leaving a tint around the main image.
 
 
I used the eye dropper tool to select a colour similar to what it would be if it wasn't for the green tint. I then used the colour replacement tool to go over the tint.
 
 
I continued this process throughout the image to achieve the final image.
 
 
 

Magazine Cover Progress 2

Since my last post I've now added the image of my cover star and added the associating story line. the font is once again off of 1001fonts.com. to cut out the image I used Photoshop, which is on the next blog post.

Magazine Cover Progress 1

Today I started the process of beginning my magazine. So far I've added the font and chosen the colour scheme of a light blue background with white font. I got the font off the website 1001 fonts. I went for a white font over black as it stood out more against the lighter background.
