4th Print Screen of Double Page Spread

 

This is the fourth print screen of my double page spread. I've made the image smaller so it fits exactly half way throughout the double page spread, I've added a page number down the bottom of the right page as well as the name of the magazine (Stereo)

3rd Print Screen of Double Page Spread

This is the third print screen of my double page spread. I've added the interview of Tyrell.

2nd Print Screen of Double Page Spread

 

This is the second print screen of my double page spread. Since the last post I uploaded, I've added a quote for the interview "...We just want to rock" I added another image of the band, but this time the image is reasonably smaller, and I've added a title and a subtitle. I added the small iamge because I thought one image on the double page spread doenst look like enough and the image is colourful which makes the double page spread more colourful. For the title and subtitle, I used the same effects (bevel and emboss) to make it stand out more, I also used the same font, but the difference is the colour and the size of the writing. I used different colours because the title I want to look bold, so I used a bold colour.

1st Print Screen of Double Page Spread

This is the first print screen of my double page spread. I havent done much apart from use one half on my double page spread as a large image of the band 'Tyrell', I've also shadowed this image to make it look more bold, so if you look closey you can see a line seperating the image to the other blank half.

Plan for Double Page Spread

This is what I plan for my double page spread to look like.

Analysis of contents

For my contents, I think I done well, I included quite a lot (contents of magazine, image of editor, image of Stereo Festival 2012, website etc). It looks quite bold.

5th Print Screen of Contents

This is the fifth print screen of my contents, I've added a promtion (subscription offer), a website name for my information or a barcode which they can scan to take them straight to the website on their phone. I done this because it makes the magazine look more realistic.

4th Print Screen of Contents

This is the fifth print screen of my contents. As you can see, since my last print screen I've added quite a lot of things to the contents. I've added two subtitles, this informs the customer aabout whats normally in the magazine (regulars) and whats not (features). Because my magazine isnt cheap (£2.20 per magazine). I've added quite a lot of pages so the customers get their moneys worth. I've added the page number, what the page consists of and a quick discription, for example, '40-50: Tyrell-Talk: about love life and fame'.

3rd Print Screen of Contents

This is the fourth print screen of my contents. To this I've added an image of myself with the title to the image of 'The Editor'. This informs the customers about what I (the editor) looks like so people can assume what the contents of the magazine is going to consist of.

2nd Print Screen of Contents

This is the second print screen of my front cover. I've added a photo of the stereo festival 2012, I done this because I want the customer to realise how good it was, and for better chance of this happening I added two titles to the image 'Stereo Festival 2012' which informs the customer what the image is of, and the subtitle 'it was amazing' which I used in quotation marks which shows the customer how good the Festival was.

1st Print Screen of Contents

This is the first print screen of my front cover. Its not much detail apart from the title and subtitle. I used the same font for the title of the contents as I used for the name of the magazine to make it stand out.

Plan for contents

This is the plan for my contents, its not very detailed. The title of the page is 'contents', I will use two images to make it look even more bold and stand out more. The slogan I used on the front cover 'life is loud' is something I will also use on the contents and I will use similar, if not, the same writing for the contents that I used for the front cover, this is because it will make the magazine look like the pages belong in the same magazine. I will also give my magazine a website name etc to make the magazine look more realistic.

Analysis of Front Cover

My front cover I think went well. I did expect it to be worse as when I started my front cover, I was still quite unsure how to use photoshop. I like how the image fits in with the page and I think my use of the magnetic tool on the front cover's image went really well as theres not much left out from the orignal background. I made the image more bold by adding a line called 'out-glow'. I used two fonts for the front cover, one font for the title, this font I thought stood out, especially with the colour, and the second font I used throughout the rest of the front cover, I did this because I thought it looked neat. I tried my best to keep with the likes and dislikes of my audience (likes: bold dark colours, dislikes: bright colours), and I think the colours I used fit my genre perfectly (indie-rock).

7th Print Screen of Front Cover

This is the seventh print screen of my front cover, and once again I havent changed a lot, I've added another sentence underneath the band name which is a quote that has been taken from the double page spread "... We Just Want To Rock" I done this because I thought it would have more chance of people buying it. I also made the fonts smaller so theres more text, images etc that I can fit onto the page.

6th Print Screen of Front Cover

I havent changed a lot on this print screen of my front cover, all I've done is rather than have a large text box with the pricing of the magazine, I made it smaller, but added more to the text box. I added the sentence 'No.45 March 2013 £2.20'. I done this because I felt this was more informative rather than just have £2.20 as it informs the reader about the issue number, the date it was published and the pricing. I also changed the colour of the font to a white colour and added effects to make it stand out more. I've also moved the barcode down more but still kept it to the right hand side.

5th Print Screen of Front Cover

This is the fifth print screen of my front cover. I've changed the placing of the name of the band and the sentence underneath the band name as well as adding a few headlines. I changed the placing of the band name and setence underneath it to make it fit in with the headlines. When adding my headlines, I found it hard to choose a suitable colour for the writing, as there is a mix of both dark colours (image and title) as well as whites (the main background), so choosing a suitable colour that would stand out and could easily be seen was a challenge, but I fianlly decided on a light brown colour, but to make it stand out I chose three different effects which were: drop shadow, inner glow and Bevel and Emboss, and the outcome of adding these effects to my headlines were a success and I think they stand out, as the lining around the headlines are dark so it can be easily read even when the headlines are on the white background, and I also used inner glow to make the writing stand out, whether it was on the white background or the main image.

4th Print Screen of Front Cover

This is the fourth print screen of my front cover. I've only changed a small amount since the last time I uploaded a print screen. I've added a barcode and the price. I placed the barcode on the right hand side of my magazine because when my magazine is on the shelfs in supermarkets, shops etc, the public will be able to see the barcode. The same goes for the price, the price is just below the barcode because in Kerrang! magazine, they do the same with most of their magazines.

3rd Print Screen of Front Cover

This is my third print screen of my front cover. As you can see I've added the band name, I used quite a dark colour for the band name, and tried to make it stand out my using two different effects for it, these effects were 'drop shadow' and 'inner shadow'. I also used the same effects for the catchy slogan underneath the name of the band 'Exclusive interview'. I used this cathy slogan to inform the audiene that inside is a exclusive interview special, which would hopefully stand out to my audience.

2nd Screen Shot Of Front Cover

This is the second screen shot of my front cover. As you can see I've added the title 'STERO!' as well as a slogan 'life is loud'. I chose the font of the title because its bold and makes the magazine stand out, and to be it looks eye catchy. I chose the colour of the title because once again it looks bold and fits my target markets likes which were 'dark bold colours'. I chose the font of the slogan because it makes the slogan look loud especially with the exclamation mark after it. I chose the colour because once again it suits he likes of my target market.

1st Print Screen of Front Cover

This is the first print screen I've taken of my music magazine front cover. As you can see I've put the background as an A4 international paper, used the magnetic tool to crop out what I wanted of the previous photo and copy and pasted it into the front cover.

Whats next? I'm now going to add the title, the subtitles, barcode etc.
