SCREENSHOTSBy Jamie Marshall

FRONT COVER START

Here I simply just wanted to get my masthead on my front cover and compare it with the gradient background. I thought it look good with the background and suited it well. I also just added the image to see the space I’d have to write in. I had to use the quick selection tool to crop the background of my image.

FRONT COVER MIDDLE 1

I started to place some text onto my front cover. The text on the right I tried to shape it around the image. The text in the middle was placed on top of my image. I did this to show its about the person on the cover. I tried to follow a red, black and white colour scheme.

FRONT COVER MIDDLE 2

Here I added some typical magazine conventions. The bar code and price was used to try and give it more of a professional magazine look. Also an extra bit at the bottom to cover more space.

FRONT COVER FINISHED

Here is my final piece. I changed the image because I felt it looked better on the front cover. I also edited it more by using the spot heeling brush tool the make the image look better. I used more text to make the front cover look more full.

CONTENTS PAGE START

I wanted to use the same colour scheme as on my front cover so I went with the red and black boxes with white background. For this I just used the rectangle tool.

CONTENTS PAGE MIDDLE 1

I used some text here. I followed the colour scheme with text. Also I used the rectangle tool again to give all the boxes borders.

CONTENTS PAGE MIDDLE 2

I started to fill in other boxes on my contents page. I used an image with a border using the rectangle tool. Also more text to fill blank spaces.

CONTENTS PAGE FINISHED

Here is my finished contents page. I used images to show who the artist is. I also used a magazine convention with the editors note, along with a picture of the editor.

DPS START

I stuck to my red, black and white colour scheme. I used the rectangle tool to make the boxes. Also a thin black line to split where my text would go. I planned to add text on the right page.

DPS MIDDLE 1

I started to add text on my right page. This part of text was a questionnaire with the artist.

DPS MIDDLE 2

Here I used the image of the artist and started to fill in the right side in the black boxes. I edited my image before placing it on photoshop using the spot healing brush tool

DPS FINISHED

Here I place my masthead in the top left hand corner to show the magazine. Also I finished the text in the black boxes.
