CONTENTS FINAL

This is the final for my contents. Putting it next to my front cover, you can see how i have kept the theme similar - colour, pictures and font. I do think i could possibly change the way the bottom half is set out, it could be seen as confusing and the numbers are placed weirdly. Overall i am happy with my finished contents page.

stories for contents page,

Adding other pictures to contents page

This is showing the use of Photoshop when i added photos and text onto my contents page. It shows how i used the continuous colour scheme and font throughout both front cover and contents.

Deciding on contents writing

This shows the editing stages of my Contents page. I kept the idea of the masthead on the contents but couldn't decide if to use capitals or not on the word "contents". Documenting this helped me to see how i worked up to my final idea.

Final Front cover - unsigned

After checking everything on my magazine several times, i noticed i forgot to include the price! So this is just the same as before but with the price included under the issue number and date.

with price!

Front Cover - unsigned

This was my first idea for my front cover, as you can see i blocked out the background of the right hand side and i also brightened the picture so they two girls stand out more. I used a large masthead, and use a small font for the rest of the text. I thought it was a good idea to stick to one font as it kept it all together and it makes it look like the same magazine. I only have two story's on my front cover but i think if it had anymore it may be a bit too crowded.

final photo for magazine cover.

This was the photo i decided to use for my front cover, i chose this as both people were staring into the camera - i also thought it was a good photo to use as they have different facial expressions. This could be seen as good or bad, but i think it works well. i knew there was some things i would have to change on Photoshop (the right side of the background) as it distracts you from the main subject of the picture. The photograph also works well as it shows one of the members holding a guitar, giving an impression of what they do and that she plays.
