Hello, this is my blog where you will be able to see the different stages that I have done to construct my magazine. This includes my front cover, contents page, double page spread, preliminary task with front cover and contents page and the planning of how I thought of the ideas to make the magazine.

Final Product

This is my front cover of the magazine. This took me the longest amount of time to make out of all the other pages. This was mainly due to the fact that I was having a lot of trouble placing a background onto the page. I had placed the centre image and mostly all of the text at the start then left the background till last to do as I wanted to see which colour would suit the text best. Every time I tried to insert a background the colour kept on clashing with the image.It was making the image turn lighter and distorted. So after 2 hours of attempting to insert a background my friend tried to help me and we found a solution by copying the image, deleting it off the page, then inserting the background and then pasting the image back onto page. I was not satisfied with the colour afterwards because it was a dark cherry pink and you could not read the text clearly. So I tried to change it but photoshop would only let me go to lighter pinks.I changed it to a very light pink that was hardly noticeable and decided I wanted another colour. In the end I used the gradient tool to make the left hand side darker than the right which I thought was a better look.

I think this updated contents page is a lot better than the one I had before. This improved contents page definitely has a lot more design and the use of more images has made the page look more exciting. Also the attention is not focused so much on the one girl now, adding the picture of another artist makes the magazine look like it has more contents inside it rather than it just being focused on my main artist.

I found doing my double page spread a lot easier than my front cover and contents page as I did this page last so I was more used to using photoshop. I took the idea of having a big 'C' from one of Q's double page spreads.
