10. Task 9 Front Cover + Screenshots 1) Here I have copied my masthead into a blank Photoshop document, and I have placed it at the top of the page. 2) Here I have inserted My main image to Photoshop, and I have made it so it fits the whole background of My magazine cover. 3) Here I have inserted a bar code and the city college logo to make it look overall more professional.
11. 4) Here I have added 4 different shaped boxes, so I can add text to them, I will be adding the leading articles and the cover lines into them etc. 5) Finally I have added text To my front cover, every box As I mentioned is now filled With text, and that was the Last thing I needed to add to My front page, then finally I Straightened boxes out etc.
12. My Final Front Cover…. Lead Articles Cover line Logo & Barcodes Mast head Main Image This is my completed magazine cover, although it was a long process, it still is not perfect, there are numerable things that I want to change, and that I could improve. First for all the masthead, I could change every first letter from purple, to red, as this would contrast better with the main image, as his shirts red. Next I could crop the barcode and city college logo so there smaller, as they are to big, and they look out of place being so big. Another thing I could add is more text, and make it flow more with the main image, rather than in text boxes. Which means choosing whether to have a lot of stories, or a few but in more detail. So there are many things I can change to improve my magazine cover.
13. Task 10 Contents page + Screenshots 1) Here I have added my First photo, which I have Put at the top of the contents Page, so I can put other items Underneath it. 2) Here I have added a black background under the photo layer, so then there is space for text and other photos etc. 3) Next I have added another image, which is related to hair and beauty, and I have tilted it so its at an angle, which I think makes it look a lot better.
14. 4) Here I have added the first piece of text, which is introducing the page, which is why I have positioned it at The top of my page, it Simply says ‘Contents’ in a yellow text. 5)Here I have added text boxes without the text yet, and I have positioned them to where I think makes my layout more professional. 6) I have simply added the city college logo to the bottom of the page. 7) Finally I added text To my boxes I previously Made for the contents Page, and I put the leading Articles and what page they Were on, to make it easy to Locate them.
15. My Final Contents Page…. This is my final contents page, again there are many faults that I need to alter, in order to make my contents page better. For example, I can make my photos that are on the contents page different, so making them more related to my main image on my front cover. I could also make one image the whole size of the page, so it looks more professional. Another thing I can change it the text on the page, its to simple for a contents page, it gives no information except the title and page number. So I could maybe make the text smaller, and write more, giving information about it. I could also put details next to images, explaining what they are about, and remember to link the images I put in the contents page, with stories on the front cover. I also need to think about the colour scheme, as its very bland, and very random colours, the only colour that contrasts with the front cover, is the black background, so this means I must change a lot.
