Research and Planning PROGRESS X3 DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

This is my double page spread so far. As you can clearly see it has come on a bit since last time. This is because I have chnaged my colour of question text into purple, to diferenciate the questions and answers. And also chnaged the colour of the intro to the interview. I have chosen blue and purple as these are the colours of the bricks behind him. I have also typed the name/ title, and chosen a font which i think is quite appropriate, but it may not be the final font.

Research and Planning PROGRESS 2 OF DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

 

Today I have been working on my double page spread. I have now finished the interview and created the black gradient, meaning the background, and image, are also complete. Now I need to put a title on, which will probably be his anme, a little decoration (eg, maybe a neon light), and make the quesions in the interview into purple text, not white.  

Research and Planning PROGRESS ON DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

 

I still have a lot to do on the double page spread  but this is it so far. Eventually I will use a balck gradient to fade into the picture therefore the text will be more visible and it wont just be a line where the end of the picture is and the space, it will all be filled. 

Research and Planning PROGRESS ON COVER

 

Although I still have a lot to do for my cover, this is it so far.

Research and Planning MAJOR CHANGE

I have recently decided, taking into account my target audiences ages, to make my magazine genre into Adult Pop.

I have chosen to do this as taking on-board the section of my audience that is over the age of 15, will more than likely prefer to buy a Adult Pop mag, rather than a girly pop mag, which is usually for girls aged 11-14. I have decided to concentrate morew on the older section of my target audeince when creating my magazine as they will be other audience that will be buying my magazine, more than likely without parents persmission as they are E-Class and will probably be working.

Research and Planning START OF MAGAZINE COVER PROGRESS

 

This is the start of magazine cover, which I have been working on today. I have chosen and added the masthead font, as well as making the image onto a portrait scale, which was needed for my magazine. I have blended the top out using the correct tools on PhotoShop and made sure all the colours go together.

Research and Planning MAGAZINE PROGRESSION CARRIED ON

Today I continued to work on my music magazine cover. I was still not 100% sure on which picture to have as my cover image, therefore, I decided to do more editing but on a different picture this time. 

Although I really like this one that I have edited today, I have finally chosen the image from the post for my cover. This is because I feel it fits more and the style and shot type work best for a cover too. 

Above I have posted two different versions of the editing I did today. This was as I couldnt decide on which way round to have the two colours. By posting it on here it enabled me to not only compare but see how it looks on this kind of scale.
