How i created my magazine using photoshop.

1. By Eleanor Hickman

2.  To begin with I selected the cover photo I wish to use
and then created my masthead where I used
Photoshop text ‘Myraid Pro’ for the lettering. For the
‘O’ in in record I decided to use an actual record image
to make my masthead stand out to my reader.

3. Next I added a strapline to the top of the page with the quote ‘The UK’s Biggest
Music Magazine’ where I used the shape tool and text.

4.  To relate to my cover image I added the name of the
artist and a quote from the double page spread to make
readers intrigued as to what the article is about. I also
added a barcode because it is important in order to sell
the magazine to consumers.

5. In order to fill my magazine I added cover lines about the pages in my
magazine so consumers can have an understanding about what the magazine
consists of and I used the text tool to do this as well as changing the colours so
it looks more interesting.

6.  For this step I got an image of a polaroid photo and pasted it
to a new layer.

7.  I then added the image to the polaroid and text as well as a quote from the
article.

8.  I began by opening a plain white background and I put my masthead
onto a red background to make the white writing standing. I used
inspiration from my front cover masthead where I replaced the ‘O’ with
the image of a record. I also inserted an image, the QR code, which I
created and the text box above to indicate what the purpose of the QR
code is.

9.  I then inserted texts which told my readers about
all the pages in my magazine and what they
consisted of.

10.  Next I added the images of my artist that
features in my main double page spread and
others from my ‘frapture’ double page spread.

11.  Next I added page number and other texts that were important,
for example page number and date of the release of the image.

12.  I added the bold white text that contrasted the dark
colours in the image behind so the consumer will be
attracted.

13.  On this page of my double spread I chose an
image of my artist and added a pull quote from
my text.

14.  To complete this page I added red squares for a
burst of colour and the page number so the
consumer could direct themselves from the contents.

15.  I started the construction of my second page of my
double page spread by using the text tool to put the page
number, name of artist, name of magazine and the drop
capital.

16.  I then added the interview that I done with my artist and
used a contrasting colour for the questions so it stood out
and so the reader knew it was being asked to the artist.

17.  To finish my double page spread I used small images
at the bottom of my artist in different looks to show her
versatility.
