Magazine Production: Adding the Artist Title

I want my magazine to follow the conventions of a music magazine, so I need to outline who my cover artists are by using a title for them. I called my duo "The Stonehearts". I messed around in dafont trying to find the right font for the cover and discovered this one. I chose this font because of the bubbly effect and has quite a fun look to it.

I firstly positioned it on a slant mainly over the second model however I didn't like this and moved it over the both of them, making the font bigger so it stands out more and turning it on a straight line, I done this when I had made other changes to the magazine such as changing the background, the font and the font's colour.

I am much happier with the font like this as opposed to the original. This way, I think the magazine still has a professional look towards it and the font stands out way more. I added an effect to this font layer called "stroke" this allowed the font to have the black text outline shown, I thought this was better because it defines the text more than the original.

I then added a tagline under the artist title because I wanted the audience to have an idea what the cover story is about. I put this in a teal kind of colour because I felt like my magazine cover needed another colour to make it look good.

Target A

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I need detailed
research into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shotlists, drafts, storyboards,scripts, locations and props. I need to show full evidence of the research and
planning informing the construction process. My
evaluation must reflect my excellent understanding of forms and conventions, an understanding of the use of new media throughout the stages of production, the way my ancillary and primary tasks combine effectively. There will be an
excellent understanding of the significance of audience feedback. My production work, across the formats, will demonstrates excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also
reflect my mastery in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, close attention to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound.
