Editing and How I made them....

I made many changes when designing my double page spread. I firstly started of without coloumns and soon realised that when presented in a magazine, the reader may find it difficult to read because of the crease down the middle of the page. I then re-designed my page so that the text was presented in columns instead. I did this in inDesign where I placed the page onto a blank canvas then placed my text from a work document. I also changed the title of the page so that it wasnt central and could still be read without the page creasing interferring. I much perfer my final design to my previous one as it fits in better with the conventions of a magazine and looks more formal.

 

 

 

 

I used photoshop to edit and manipulate my images. Firstly I open the image I wanted to use and got rid og the bacground. I did this by using the magnetic lasso tool which allows you to select the section of the image that you want to use. I then copied this into a new layer. Once I had just Natalie and no background I could work on the editing of the image. I adjusted the contrast, brightness and and worked on the levels of the image.  

 

 

 

To add text to my double page spread I used Indesign. I did this by removing my old text on my page in photoshop and opening the page without any text in indesign. I then clicked on the text symbol and placed a word document which had my interview in. Next I sorted out the columns so that they were equal sizes and fitted around the image.

Fonts Used

To make an interesting, successful magazine the font and text size plays an important role. I wanted to use a variety of different font to make my magazine interesting and fun to read. As well as different fonts I made sure that the size of my text varied so that it was just the same standard text throughout the three pages. In a pop magazine the text is especially important as the target audience don't necessarily read the magazine just for the text instead the images are generally what interests them. Therefore the text needs to be just as interesting as the rest of the magazine. Here are some of the different fonts i used in my music magazine.
