2. I chose my image for the
front cover of my
magazine, when I put it
on to photo shop I found
that one of my people
had there mouth open
where the other people
had them closed, so I
decided to find an image
where his mouth was
closed and change the
head
I opened the image where
his mouth was closed on
photo shop and Using the
quick select tool I selected
around Sam's head and
refined. After this I copied
and pasted it on to the first
image
Once I had the image of the
head on this on I placed it where
is was needed. After I had it
where I wanted it to be I
selected each person individually
and pasted them on to a blank
photo shot file. With the sizing
of a international paper
3. Once that I had the images all on
to the page, I moved it so that
Beth was larger than Rowan and
Sam so that the edges of the tow
people in the back where not
seen. Doing this it also helped to
show them as a band as it looked
like Beth is the lead band member
After using the contrast tool in the image tab at the top
I felt that it make them look strange against the white
back ground so I went back to the original image and
selected the background of the image and copied to the
photo shop file. After stretching the image I felt I could
make it look like it was a winter issue show I change the
image to black and white, this then made them all look
like they are meant to be like that
Since I all ready had my font for
my mast head (noise in the attic) I
placed it where I wanted it. For
the colour I used the colour picker
tool to pick the red off Beth’s shirt
as I felt that it would stand out yet
be dark enough to blend in with
the theme I wanted.
4. Once I knew the colour of the mast head I
worked out the colour of the banners at
the top and the bottom. I made the one as
the bottom the same colour and the mast
head with a line on top that it the same
colour as Beth's top. Then so the top one
was slighly darker using the clour picker
tool i tool the colour of Sam's shirt with is
grayer then Beth's.
I then added the name of the
band on to it on the font cruel sun
again using the colour of the mast
head but to make it a little
different using the magic wand
tool a selected the spaces inside
of the letters and changed them
to black
I when using text tool
added the anchorage
text under the cover line
in the same colour
5. I felt lke it was hard o read the text so added
a box underneath it in he same colour as the
line on top of the bottom banner the created
a contrast with the writting making it easy to
read
I then added the writing into
the banners in black writing
so that it is easy to read on
both backgrounds making
them match
Once I had these in place I
placed the cover lines on to
the right hand said as the left
is already very crowed with
Rowans busy shirt
7. Using the Mast head from the
front cover I added it to the
top of the page so that it took
up most of the space by not
too much as I wanted to put
things next to it. I then added
a gray background with
gradient so that it wasn’t to
obvious but just enough so
that it wasn’t plain.
I then added the word contents in a
different font and in the colour of the line
above the bottom banner on my front
cover. Once I had this I knew it was going
to be in columns so with the first two
columns under the writing that it on the
page I added a red and black box I this
was where I was planning on putting my
list of what is in the magazine
I then added the list of things
on to it with the writing going
in to two columns, but this did
not reach the bottom of the
box so I added a title to the
box of featured (in the same
font and colour as contents0
so that I could categorise it
and added a black ling in the
middle.
8. I then added a second box on top of
the first in black and blue so that the
category changed where obvious.
Then added the word Regular in the
same font as the word Featured but
in the same colour as the first box. To
then use up the space I added a list
of what would be regular content in
here
As I felt that the number
for the pages here aren’t
very obvious I added
them larger and in the
same font as the
subheading just to the
side of the article they
are for.
After doing this I found that I had a lot of
empty space on my magazine page so I
chose some of my favourite pictures form
the photo shot that where slightly silly
and added them on the bottom of the
page then arranged them so that it looked
like they had just been randomly placed
on to the page.
9. After this I then still felt like this little
section on the bottom of my page
needed more so I adder a little caption
for the hole section with the bands
name being in the same front it was on
the front page and the same colour this
made the paged look like they where
linked together. I then added the words
‘fun at the photo shot’ as this would
help it link to my double page as it has
quite a lot of focus on how young the
band is.
There was still a lot of space left on
the page so I added a photo of the
front cover as this if often something
that would feature on a magazine
contents page. To then highlight how it
was the first issue I so I added it in the
same font as trouble of ambient next
to the image of the front cover.
To then finish off my page I
added a letter from the
editor in a box with a gray
background and a white sub
heading so that it stood out
from the rest of the boxes
and makes the page look
complete.
11. First o choose my image that
I wanted on my front cover
and opened it in to photo
shop so that I could make the
image slight brighter as there
was a slight shadow on the
whole image and to blur the
background so that the band
members stood out.
Once the image was how I
wanted it a cropped the image
to size. Then using the select
tool I selected around and
above rowan, after refining
the edge I deleted that section
of the image so there was a
white section.
I then inserted it in to
quark and made the
image a alpha channel so
that when I add the
writing on to it, it will go
around the image
automatically.
12. I then added the
part of the title
which was the logo
of trouble of
ambient. This laps
over both pages but
not by much so it
wouldn't be hard to
read.
I then added the rest of
the title in the blue
colour from the previous
pages and in the font
the sub heading are in
on the contents page
which helped to link the
pages together.
Then in three columns I
added the interview on
to the page and added
a drop capital on to the
stand first paragraph.
