My Music Magazine

Here is the final result of the front cover of my music magazine. I enhanced the size of the logo, making it cover the top. This was to make it stand out more and so people would know who owns this magazine. I added the price of the magazine on the top left hand corner so that people would see it first, alerting them of the price. I also placed the bar code in the bottom right hand corner because it doesn't cover up anything important and isn't very noticeable.

The main story headline is placed in the very centre of the magazine, I also used the same colours of the logo for the main story, to help remind the reader who owns this. The other main stories I have place around the cover, all different sizes and different font styles, showing which story is more important.

Here is the result of my contents page. I added another column and added more images to match the three story's in the second column. I made the numbers of the pages in the middle jump from high and lower numbers, mainly to make the reader think why its like that.

Here is the final result of my double page spread. From the last post, I added two more columns on the left hand side of more of the story. I also added an image of a guy named Zack, as he is mentioned in the story. His name is placed just above him to help readers know and understand who he is.

On the right hand side, I added three columns more of the story. I also added an image of two girls Jane and Danni who are mention. Their names are placed beside them to help the reader know who they are. I also decided not to use green for some of the text, as when I printed a small version of it, it didn't look that good. So i decided to make all of the text white.

I once again kept the colours matching the logo in order to remind the reader who owns the magazine. I also done the headline in yellow with a green background, this was to make it stand out so people know the title of the story and who it about. I made the background dark mainly to make it seem odd and different compared to the front page and contents. This is so that the reader would remember the main story better, as its different.





 

Here is a video of the photos that I took for my music magazine. Enjoy!!

 

 

 

 Here are the first four videos I have done for my evaluation. I wasn't able to put my last two on due to the lack of memory for my prezi. I will past the others just on my blog. Enjoy :D.

Here is the fifth Video of my evaluation :D

Here is the final video of my evaluation. Hope you enjoy :D

After having created my front cover, I then began to work on the Contents page of the magazine. Before I started, I looked at how other magazine contents were organised. With this help, I noticed that some of them had columns, page numbers and the title of what was on the page, as well with a few images.
As I created the content page, I decided to use and image for the background. After playing about with the image, I learnt how to fade the image using the contrast tool, as well as the vibrant tool. I then created the column with the shapes tool and added the text, along with a few other images I had taken for ideas of the front cover.

For this task, I went out and took a few photo's of my own of students. Having taken 6 photo's I decided to use one and with the help of photo shop, I was able to learn how to change the lighting of the image that I used. I also learnt how to add shapes onto the image as seen in the bottom right hand corner of the magazine cover, to make a certain piece of information stand out and look appealing. I also used different font styles for each heading for the articles within the magazine, to help grab the readers interest. I also coloured the writing as the same colours as the books the person on the cover is holding.

 

 

 

Using paint, I was able to create the basic frame of a front cover for a school/ collage magazine.
All I needed to do was find an image of a student, and then add the titles of the stories/ articles that will go in the magazine. When this was done, I had to then plan to make an actual front cover of a school/ collage magazine.
