Magazine Production: Building My Front Cover

Now that I have started creating my magazine, I am going to log how I am building the front cover and note down any issues that I may face or problems that I fix.

1. The first thing I done was use the gradient tool to decide which colour I wanted my background to be, I went with a silver/grey and white. After trial and error of finding the right combination, I settled with the one you see above.

2. The second step was finding the right fonts, after looking through the ones already built into Photoshop, I decided that none of them were what I was looking for. I went onto dafont.com and browsed through their graffiti/marker fonts. For "The Stonehearts" I used DK Downward fall. For the logo I decided to put a stroke around it and fill the font with a dark grey colour, the font I used was called Handbrush cre.

3. I chose this specific photo because it fits in with the rap theme and the idea of most rappers not to be messed with, after cutting this out using the magic wand tool, I adjusted the colour to remove some of the green reflection that was appearing on the image.

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.
