What I did today...28/01/2011

Today I made a few touches to my front cover and began my contents page, I do not yet have an image for my front cover but I will add that in once I have it. So as I didn't have these images I decided to have a play around on Photoshop to see how I wanted my contents page and started constructing it.

Construction of Contents

 This is my first screen grab of my contents page I have created it on photo shop using different tools. I then created this boxes to add my pages and my pictures.

This is my second screen grab of my construction, I have added more pages and original artist's name onto the contents using different tools. I also changed my construction of adding sub headings making different sections.

This is my third screen grab I have finished adding my information and page numbers, next time I will just need to add my pictures onto it.                        This is my fourth screen grab. I like how I have arranged the pictures on the contents page and some link to the things I have included on the contents page.

Today I have uploaded my construction of my magazine front cover using screen grabs whilst I have been constructing these. They show the tools I have used and also the progress I have made. I have now finished my front cover and have uploaded this onto my blog so I can see my final front cover.

Final Front Cover

This is my final music magazine front cover, for the music genre: indie. I have uploaded all the stages of constructing this and all my research involved with the music genre indie.

I think this magazine is a better than my student magazine as I have been able to have the experience of creating it before. I thought it would be okay without the banner at the top including the puff but it looked really bare in the corner so I added this to fill the space and advertise something else that would help sell my magazine to the audience.

Construction of my Front cover

This is my front cover when I first began creating it. I was constructing this in photo shop, Firstly I added the masthead in . font. I then added my tag line just underneath my masthead, explaining about the magazine and what is in it. this is a screen grab of when i was constructing my front cover showing the tools I am using.

 Here is the second screen grab of my front cover whilst constructing it. i have now added my barcode that I created myself on dafont.com I also added a cover line.

 Here is my third print of where i have got up too, I have now added another cover line stating who the artist is, once again a screen grab of my work in photo shop showing the tools I have used.















Here is my forth screen grab of my front cover. I have now added a puff some more cover lines and banner advertising indie festivals.

Here is my final screen grab, this is my finished front cover and I am pleased with my outcome. I have added a few final things and edited some.
