PRODUCTION REFLECTIONFRONT COVER

PROCESS

To create this magazine cover I used photoshope to help me get all of the common conventions into my magazine, I looked more in to how magazines look with all of the common conventions. I first took all of my images of my model that I needed to use on my magazine and double page spread. I used one of the cameras from the media department as the ones on a mobile phone wasnt good quality and when I placed them in to photoshop the quality was very poor. I have decided to go with these two images and use these in my magazine front cover and double page spread.

PROCESS

I first needed to decide on a background to use for my magazine, I decieded on my background by looking into what Katy Perry's website, album covers, magazine covers. I went on a diomand effect for the background this also links to girls as the saying 'dimonds are a girls bestfriend' I used the shapes in photoshop to create this background and the rulers so that every dimond are equal sizes. I have also used the gradient tool to make it look like the dimonds are fading in.

PROCESS

I then went on to adding in all of my text for my magazine. I have added in all of the conventions for a magazine, masthead, subtitle, mane heading, tag line. by adding in all of these conventions the audience will beable to recognise the magazine.

I used dafont for most of my fonts, I used, Lemon Tuesday, traveling typewriter, Adouliss and Moon flower I also used a few fonts that are on Photoshop.

PROCESS I then looked more

into detail and closer in to what peopel need to see on the magazine cover. I then added in a barcoad, price, date and issue number these are a big part of the magazine for people to see how much the magazine is, when it came out this will be good for people who collect them and will be easy for them to find out if the have it or not by the issue number in this came #13

PROCESS

I then went on to adding in my main image I used the magic wand and the eraser to help me cut out the main image of the model. Once the background was gone and I just have the model I used the blur tool to go around the model and make the edges not as sharp and so it doent look like it have just been slaped on the magazine.

After I had got the image I then went on to putting all the text in to place changing the size of the fonts and making sure it all fit well together changing the colour of the text so it had a bit of colour.

PROCESS

This is my final piece of my magazine front cover that I have created. Over all I am very pleased with the out come from all the editing to getting all the conventions in there how the colour schemes fir well and the different fonts fit nicely.

PRODUCTION REFLECTIONDOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

PROCESS

I went on the same theme as my front cover for my double page spread for the background this way it all links nicely to Katy Perry and makes the magazine fit together so they isn't a massive difference.

PROCESS

I then went on to adding in all of the text, for the ‘Katy Perry’ I went on to her website and took it from there and just changed the colour to fit in with the colour scheme and the models clothes I went for a shade of pink that is on the girls dress. I then added in the article that I produced my self talking about the awards, the music industry, what she does in her spare time and if she is doing any tours. This then lets her audience know how she feels about Woking in the music industry and if she is doing at tours etc. At the end of the article I also added in who the article was by (Edited by Jordanne Kay) and a page number (20) I also picked out from the article a pull quote (I always dreamed of becoming a popstar when I was a little girl) and placed it on the opposite side to the article where the image will be placed. I then put a stroke around the writing of a cream to make it stand out for when I place the image in the background.

PROCESS I then went on to adding in the main

image of ‘Katy Perry’ holding her two awards. I used the magic wand and eraser to edit the image. I then used the blue tool to smooth out the edges so she doesn’t look like she’s been dumped in the double page spread.

Once I had added in the main image I thought it looked a bit plane and boring behind the model so I went on to the internet and found a pink flower that I could use behind the model just to fill some space. I used the same flower and just angled it and placed it is different placed I also turned the opacity down so they was faint and not bright and in your face.

Overall I am please with the out come of this double page spread, I have thought about what an article looks like and used the right format. I also like how I have used the flowers in the background to fill some space and it just fits in so well with the dress and its girly.
