2. Photo Selection
• I have decided to use this
photo because I think it
keeps with the
intimidating theme that
the front cover and
contents page has
therefore creating a kind
of house style.
• I have decided to not alter
this photo in Photoshop
because I feel it looks like
it should and suits the
purpose the photo has.
3. Photo #2
• I have decided to use this
photo to try and give a more
fun side to the article, by
using a photo where she is
happy and smiling. This will
influence audience to read
because it makes her appear
more happy and positive,
my research into double
page spreads attempted this
fun side to try and get the
same effect.
• I think this does need
Photoshop though.
6. Levels
• I used ‘Auto Levels’ in Photoshop to achieve
this.
• I did this because the exposure levels of the
photo’s could have been wrong so this was
used to fix it in case they were.
• I still feel it is too bright and not contrasted
enough, but I can correct this with the
Brightness and Contrast tool.
9. Brightness + Contrast
• This fixed the brightness and contrast levels
because they were still wrong despite the fact
that I ‘levelled’ it.
• I think the colours are slightly wrong but I can
fix this using colour correction.
15. Cropping
• The photo now has a lot more impact and a
lot more focus is put on the model which is
good because that’s where the focus of the
photo should be.
18. Pull Quote
• Using the text tool in
InDesign I typed in a pull
quote. I decided to place it
over the main photo
because this was commonly
done in my research and
therefore making it closer to
a more professional looking
magazine.
• I decided to make it bold
and white so that it stood
out against the photo.
• I rotated it because it looks
more creative and more
interesting.
19. Header Title
• Again using the text tool, twice I typed in the
header. I decided to use two fonts to further
emphasise the contrast between ‘Pretty little’
and ‘Liar’ showing how they are opposites.
This is also the reason why I used two colours.
• I again rotated it because I feel it looks more
interesting on the page.
20. Introduction to the Article
• With the text tool, I typed a little
introduction to the article. This is what
some of my research did as it influences the
audience to read the article because it
stands out. I made it bold and black so that
it stands out.
21. Standfirst
• With the text tool, I typed the first letter of
the article. This is what my research did so I
am doing it so that it looks more
professional and more realistic. I decided to
use the same colour as the header to try
and keep a consistent house style within the
article.
22. Text in Columns
• Again using the text
tool, I typed the
content of my article.
• My text is in columns
because all of my
research (apart from
‘The Source’) did all
their text in columns so
this makes it look more
professional and more
real.
23. Captions
• With the text tool, I typed the captions of
the photos. It is a common feature for the
photographs to have captions, so this helps
make it more realistic.
• I made it small and italic so that it didn’t
stand out too much.
24. Page Number
• This is using the same
style as my contents
page so that there is a
consistent house style
throughout the
magazine.
• Again I used the text
tool.
