product construction

1. Product construction
Front cover
This is the first stage I started out with which is
creating the background of the cover in photo
shop. I decided to it pink as the 3 main colours
I’m using are blue light silver and pink. I chose
these because blue and silver are Christmas
related colours and the pink because it goes
well with them, and pink also is good as it’s a
typical colour used in magazines and it stands
out.
The next thing I did was create my mast head, I
got the actual font off a website called ‘dafont’
and then just copied it over to my cover with
my magazine name. I then put an effect on the
on the blue
I hen edited in my main image by cutting
round the edge to remove the background. I
edited the brightness as the image had come
out quite dark, so by making it brighter it
meant that you could see it more clearly.

2. Contents page
The next thing I did was put in one of the
images I used on my double page spread, and
a sell line about the ‘interview’. I then put I
bigger white box around the outside of it to
give the illusion of a white border around the
image.
I then put in another sell line and a pink box
around the bottom part of the text to make it
stand out. I also edited in some small
snowflakes to dot around the page in any small
gaps and put a Santa hat on the corner of the
letter R.

3. I put in a pink box at the top with a sell line
inside that’s on one of the small pages inside
of the magazine. Im trying to stick to a colour
scheme so if I use this bright pink it will help
the magazine stand out a lot more.
The I put in a circle at the bottom of the page
as I was going to use this space for my sell line
in the middle and pictures of outfits around
the side.
The first thing I did to make my contents
page is create the layout, so I set of the
boxes for text and images to go
I then added the text and images
The first thing that I did was crate a
layout for my double page spread on
InDesign. I needed to create two A4
pages with 3 columns where my
article needed to go. Then on the
other page I am going to put my
images.
I then put a collected of my images
together on photo shop and
dragged it over to InDesign, taking
up the full right hand side of the
page
Next I created my main heading for
my article as it this double page
spread had a Christmas theme to it
I decided to try and make the
heading as festive as I could. I did
this by altering the colour and font
to fit in with this theme. I got my
font froma website called “dafont”

4. Then I copied and pasted over my
article into the columns I had set
out for it. After this I had to edit
the writing by changing the font
colour and size.
This is whatmy finished product
looked like.
