Photo Selection contents page

I chose this photograph because I really like the split lighting and my model’s expression because she is clearly engaged with the camera.

I chose this photograph because I liked the angle and I liked how clearly you can see the headphones.

I chose this image because I really like how the right hand is blurred

I chose these 2 photographs because I love the mise en scene and I feel like they will make my contents page look a lot more professional because they have concert lighting.

I really like this photo because of my model’s makeup and I think it could look good on the contents page

Drawn Design

I have chosen to use Orator Std as my heading and for my editorial pillars as it is very contemporary and will stand out on the page. I will use Calibri for my article titles and leading text as it is easy to read and still very bold. In terms of colours, I want to use red, black and white as this is the continued colour scheme throughout my pages and will create uniformity between the pages.

On each image, I used the shadow and highlight tool to make them clearer. I then used the brightness and contrast tool to add depth to each photo and make my photographs look more pop/professional.

I made my contents page on Photoshop. I used the text box tool to insert all of my text and changed the font colours to work with my images. I used the shape tool to insert my banners and the place tool to insert my photographs. I made sure that I had my masthead in the top right hand corner to create a sense of branding.

Feedback

Having been given my feedback, I have changed my colour scheme. I chose to use a bright blue and pink as they are both bright and contrast each other and this is a technique often employed by Pop magazines such as ‘Top of the Pops’ to catch the eye of readers and those colours work well next to my photos which are mostly purple toned. I then went about looking for a new font to replace AR Bonnie and Orator Std. I looked through all of the fonts already on my school and home computers but decided I’d be better off finding a new one online. I went onto Dafont.com and looked through all of the possible fonts I could use before settling on GoBold. I downloaded and installed it to my home computer and used Gobold itallic as well on my contents page to create some variation.

Font and Colour Scheme Changes

I played with the hue of my photographs to make them all a bit more purple toned to match my new colour scheme which I created with the paint bucket tool. I also increased the levels of blue in the photos to make a sense of house style.

Teacher Feedback:

I used the rulers to make sure everything is equally spaced out and aligned with each element

I inserted an image of my front cover into my subscription box to show what it advertises visually.

I extended my banner all the way across the page and put the date and issue number in it so that it has a clear function.

I moved my selfie closer to my name to make it clear that it’s the editor in the photo.

I got rid of the ‘p’ in front of each number as I felt it was already obvious what the numbers were for.

See next slide for more adaptations

Moved my masthead to the left and heading to the right to follow convention. I also changed my Masthead font to match that on the front for consistency. I also made these larger to fill the space.

I made all of my boxes here the same size to create uniformity

I lined up the start of my leading text with my page number

I made sure everything was correctly aligned

I ensured my fonts weren’t overlapping by creating space around the Editorial Pillars

I added captions to photos to show what each one is

I moved my photo and subscription box together to make way for more leading text
