The document describes the process of designing a magazine cover and layout in Adobe Photoshop. Key details include:
- A grey background color was selected and used throughout for consistency.
- Articles, text, images and other elements were added and formatted on various pages like the cover, contents page and article pages.
- Colors, fonts, positioning and styling of elements were deliberately chosen to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and professionally designed end product.
- Consistency of visual elements like colors, fonts and styling across pages was an important consideration.
3. I removed the background the
image as I already had in mind
what colour background I was
going to put behind the image. I
had already tried the grey colour
background and it worked
effectively and I feel that this is
what I am going to use. I
removed the background with
the eraser tool on Adobe
Photoshop.

my magazine so that it looks
effective as it works with the
characters in the image
5. I have added some text with the
that colour as I liked this colour
and that it works well with the
grey background. The style of
font is also effective as it is big
and bold.

white so that it stands out and it
looks more effective the white
outline around it. I played around
with the different colours in
which I preferred white than any
other colour.

shape at the top of the page so
that I can added some text on to
that bar.

this bar as I found that this was
successful when real media
products used this. I chosen to
put the text white as it stands out
really effectively.

front cover. The reason this was
my first article as it relates to my
front cover image in which I
wanted it black as I felt I was
going to add a drop glow to it.

so that the audience can clearly
see what the article says as
when I first produced it, the
audience could not see what
was said.
11. I also added the mini article
underneath so that the audience
know what the real reason as to
why the image is doing on the
front cover. I chosen to put this
white so that it stands out from
the background effectively.
12. I added another article onto my
front cover in which I did this so
that the space could be field up
so the page looks professional. I
chosen to use this article as it
was similar to another magazine
in which I changed it slightly so
that it would suite my liking.

image so that it shows to the

scheme of this text is still shows
the consistency.

it may inspire the audience in

is a very exclusive image and it
would look dull without an
image.
