Font types-again

The main types of font I have used in my magazine are sharp and bold, this is because I wanted the text in my magazine to look like the text that DJ's use to make there label look cool and fancy like the image to the left, this is because it appeals to my target audience.

Front Cover photos




These are just two of the 200 photos I had taken for my front cover. The one on the left was for my rough cut and what I originally thought to be for my final piece. I then decided I needed a change. This was decided when I cut the image out. I found out the contrast between the model and the background was bad so it was hard to cut out onto a blank background. The second picture however made the model look allot more professional and less young. The way the model isn't looking at the camera and is slightly to the right of the picture makes it look allot more professional. It was also allot easier to cut out as there was a very dark colour against a light background.

Decoration

The colored rectangle that I created for the contents page has now been used in the front cover as well. I decided to put it behind the model as it filled in some of the white space and it made the front cover look alot nicer.

In-design basics

So In design is an extremely helpful program which I used to create the layout of my magazine. I used a selection of tools on the left hand side but the easiest to use was the rectangular frame tool, this is the tool that created the layout of my magazine as it is what I had to put all my photos and videos in.

Photography

I took quite a few of my friend Bradley to make sure I got the perfect picture that would fit onto my contents page.

Photography

When I was taking picture of the set I realized that it was going to be extremely hard to get the brightness right on the image. This is when Photoshop came in handy as I could simply change the brightness on that.

Page Numbers

The page numbers were a massive deal when creating the contents page, this is because they had to obviously be large and bold but they also had to look as though they fit into the frame and not block up the pictures. I decided to go with red because it fitted in with my color scheme on the front cover of my magazine. I made them smaller than they are in the picture on the left aswell so that they didnt take overlap most of the picture.
