Front cover



Starting with the front cover of my music magazine, I created my masthead in Photoshop taking around thirty minutes to find a text that worked with the style of my magazine 

                                                                                           

Using the draft front cover as a template, I move my Masthead from Photoshop to InDesign and placing the sell lines, pug and slogan in 





Changing the colour scheme from a bright orange and text from light colour scheme to a dark colour scheme with red text and black strokes to make the magazine have more of a Rock style to it

After adding in the photo of my artist, I saw that rather than working my artist around the sell lines, the sell lines would have to work around the artist as some where over lapping.

But the clothing of my artist seemed more indie than rock and so I change it but having him in a black jacket,

making the sell lines smaller along with changing the footbars, changing the colour scheme again so that it applied to the eye better.
I latter decide to keep the background in as it was a hassle to remove all of the grey and plus it made the front cover less bland by having it not pure white, also adding the rest of my sell lines with a barcode

 The Finished product











Music Magazine Prototype

School Magazine Contents Page

 When starting the School Contents Page, I had in mind of keeping the same colour scheme and the font of the Front Cover, along with the colour of the text and stroke for 'Contents' similar to the sell lines from the front page

I have the main image as the tree as it an iconic thing within the school,all being on layer one

I then divided the yellow bar into segments so to hold the specific sections of the contents page, keeping with the colour scheme by alternating between black and yellow, adding a subsidiary image in the bottom left to add variety to the page, it being construction to the school, those on layer two

Next I add the text to the contents page, have the change of text colour so that it could be seen on the different colour background, keeping to the colour scheme, all the text on layer three
