Screen shots.

Here are the screen shots of my letters I tried to create. As you can see the first one was done with the drawing tool on photoshop. I wasn't sure on how to create a large letter so I did an experiment first.

The second one I used text, and just changed the size and font to make it stand out more.

Screen Shots.

This is a screen shot of my final magazine idea. As you can see i've used many different skills to achieve this look. I have sent three photos backwards for the background, used photos and different fonts. However, I don't like this as I think it looks like there is too many words on there, so I am going to take some photos and add some more photos to it. I love the colours, and the idea of the bright colours with black and white photos.

The reason there is the letter A in the background is because the magazine is called Aspire, so I wanted to link that in with the contents page.

Screen Shots.

These are screen shots of the completed number I wanted to place onto my magazine. I began on photoshop, making a box, filling it with colour, then placing the number four in, changing the size and font and then changing the blending options to "Inner shadow", "Bevel and Emboss" and "Satin". I then placed it onto the area of my contents page I wanted it to go and am happy with the result.

Screen Shots.

These are screen shots of the skills I am using to create my contents page.
The first one is an experiment I did with photoshop. I wanted to create a more interesting number for my contents, and used this software on Photoshop.
The second one is showing how i created my own colour for my number boxes and how I did it.

First Draft Of Completed Double Page Spread.

This is my first draft of a complete double page spread. However, I am still waiting to take some photos so I have not been able to include photographs. I wanted to have a title with a quote as well. I also wanted to use two areas of my page as I think there is a lot of small writing for the reader to read, so I thought that by using two boxes it breaks up the page and is much easier on the eyes.

I like how my pages have turned out, but they will look much better with photographs and when colour is added.

Music Magazin Contents Page- Draft 1.

This is the first draft of my contents page. I decided I wanted to make my magazine quirky and fun, so I chose a bold font, and a bright colour. However, these colours and fonts may change with the experimentation process.

I like how my contents page looks so far, and I have included a big title, the issue number, the date, the page number and four different boxes with different pages and stories in.

Magazine Article Screen Shots.

These are the screen shots of my article places on a magazine draft. The top one is the text without any changes. In the bottom one I changed the font because I wanted to make it look more interesting and easy to read. 

I enjoyed writing my article because we were able to make up anything, as long as it relates to music. Next week I will add pictures, and the title and other details.
