Magazine Production: Adding Detail to Contents Page 1

Like any of my other pages in my magazine, adding small details to the contents page was important.

Magazine Production: Content's page background & title.

Below in my presentation you will see the beginning of the making for my contents page and the background colour & title I used.

Magazine Production: Content's page Images.

I decided that I wanted to make two contents pages as the first one that I made didn't have enough text on to qualify looking like a real magazine. I stuck to my style model's features. This is my chosen images that I took for the main contents page.

This is after I cut out the image and placed it on the template for the contents page. I positioned the model to the left of the page so that I could fill text to the right of the page. I cut this out using the Quick Selection tool.

 

Magazine Production: Artist Story Hook

I also wanted to keep like my style model and add a story hook for my magazine double page. I kept it in the same font as the "Ethan Parish" to have similarities.

 I again added drop shadow to make it pop, a colour overlay of red to keep with my scheme and stroke to add an outline for the text. I think these were good effects to use because it makes the artist name stand out more due to the dark colour beneath it.

Magazine Production: Artist Title

I found the font for my artist on dafont, I wanted it to look block and bold like my style model.

This is what it looked like when I first inserted it on.

 

I added a drop shadow effect to the name so that it stood out a lot more and changed the font colour to white which makes the font look fresh and clean cut. I done this by right clicking the layer and clicking blending options.

Magazine Production: Adding Artist names

I wanted to keep with my style model so I adapted the feature of the faded artist names as the background. I done this because I liked how it looked and it saved me trying to find a background colour. Adding all of these texts took a while as I had to change the font for each one. I had a thick bold font and then a skinny one because it looked good. I turned the opacity down on every artist names so that it faded into the background and looked transparent.
