Photoshop Work: Progress

Double Page Spread


I have now added the line 'BURSTING ONTO THE SCENE' underneath the artists name (which was the same line that I used on the cover) to make the article sound exciting. This has also been done in the same font used on the cover and the contents on the date/issue number

Double Page Spread


I have now changed the font to make it patterned. This adds continuity throughout the magazine and can be seen as the artists own branding which is important as being featured in the magazine gives the artist the opportunity to promote their work as well as building a bigger brand for themselves and widening their fan base

Double Page Sread


This is my double page spread. Unlike the cover and the contents page, I have made sure that the size of my page is A3 and that it is landscape. This is so the pages fit into the magazine as when it is folded it will be the same size as the A4 cover and contents pages
I have made the image go on the left hand side of the page and have made it completely fill the page. I tried to get it to fold exactly in the middle of the page as I feel this is more professional
The image that I have used reflects the genre which I have chosen well and I have played with the exposure, brightnedd and contrast in order to make the image look as professional as possible
I have added the artists name at the top of the page and made sure that it fills the page. This ensures that when flicking through the magazine, the reader will see it and be more likely to read the article. This shows her to be more of a feature and makes the article seem important

Contents


Fromthis you can see that I have added information about all of the headings and added all of the page numbers to make it look more like a real magazine contents page
On the image of artist 'Tom Fox' I have changed the orientation of the text as well as adding the word 'exclusive' and the page number to make him seem to be more of a feature to the reader
I have lined up all of the text so that it makes the page as a whole look more professional

Contents


Here you can see that I have added some features and page numbers beneath the headings to tell the readers what the magazine includes. I have done it in the same font as the headings, however I think this needs to be improved as it makes the headings look less important. This needs to change as the headings need to look important

Here I have shown where my text which will explain the features, regulars and extras will go

I have now included a similar patterned font for my other musician and placed it on top of the timage in order to give him an identity as well as showing the reader who he is
On my image of Chloe I have added the word 'exclusive' and have also added page numbers
As well as this I have added the heading of the things I am going to include on the contents page in the same font as the artists names on the cover. This, again, adds continuity. I also think it looks quite cool and reflects the genre choice which will appeal to my target audience
