PROOF OF MAGAZINE DESIGNS

Charlie Vaughan

This is my original image that I started with, I went to image - adjustments and vibrance to

boost the colours.

I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut the forehead of the

subject off to allow me to put it on a new layer.

This is the result of the affect of the magnetic marquee tool.

It allows me to put the Masthead behind the artists head but at the same time

keep it in front of the background .

To add to realism of the magazine I added a bar

ode image from a jpeg file I got off of Google images.

Next I used the horizontal type tool to place the text for my

skyline at the top of the page.

To make the text more vibrant on the page, so I added a

stroke using the layer styles

Then to make a house style I placed a yellow rectangle ( sampled from here) and

added a purple stroke to it. Then I dropped the opacity to

give the affect of it being slightly see through.

Then I did the same with another at the bottom. Adding the shape and a stroke layer

style.

To make this part I used the same purple and yellow from

the skyline line to create a white on black affect aswell as a stroke. I got this idea from an

addition of KERRANG! magazine

Adding cover lines by using horizontal type tool I placed cover lines on the cover, all

magazine normally have cover lines

Adding more cover lines and using the stroke affect on all of

them, aswell as placing my original C-D cover from the beginning of the course, my front cover looks like this.

This the original image that I used on the contents page of my magazine the blank space I made sure to take the artists

right is for the columns I placed on.

PLACING TEXT BOX

Using the rectangle tool I placed on this rectagle

To run with the skyline on the front page I dropped the

opacity of the box, It also adds a really unique look to the

page.

I added the Masthead to the page to feel the space above Adams head, it looks good aswell because it evens

To Make the magazine look professional I added page numbers in a larger thinner

font to the page and then used size 8 font for the main body text using the horizontal type

tool.

Adding the rest of the stories and my album cover again I

ended up with this.

I thought something needed to be place down here give more balance to the page so I added some pretend contact details using the horizontal type tool

This is the final image I chose for my DPS.

I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut the head off and place it

on a new layer

Allowing me to place this behind the artists head.

To make columns for my text I used the rectangle tool and then dropped the opacity to

80%

Then I placed normal text in white onto the box containing

my article

This is the finished text layout with all three columns filled

with the article that I wrote in word to make sure all the

grammar was correct.

After that I thought the space at the top needed to be filled so I put my masthead on it

again to feel the space a little.
