production reflection

1. PRODUCTION REFLECTION
FRONT COVER

2. PROCESS
 To create this magazine cover I
used photoshope to help me get all
of the common conventions into my
magazine, I looked more in to how
magazines look with all of the
common conventions. I first took all
of my images of my model that I
needed to use on my magazine and
double page spread. I used one of
the cameras from the media
department as the ones on a mobile
phone wasnt good quality and when
I placed them in to photoshop the
quality was very poor. I have
decided to go with these two images
and use these in my magazine front
cover and double page spread.

3. PROCESS
 I first needed to decide on a
background to use for my magazine,
I decieded on my background by
looking into what Katy Perry's
website, album covers, magazine
covers. I went on a diomand effect
for the background this also links to
girls as the saying 'dimonds are a
girls bestfriend' I used the shapes in
photoshop to create this background
and the rulers so that every dimond
are equal sizes. I have also used
the gradient tool to make it look like
the dimonds are fading in.

4. PROCESS
 I then went on to adding in all of my
text for my magazine. I have added
in all of the conventions for a
magazine, masthead, subtitle, mane
heading, tag line. by adding in all of
these conventions the audience will
beable to recognise the magazine.
 I used dafont for most of my fonts, I
used, Lemon Tuesday, traveling
typewriter, Adouliss and Moon
flower I also used a few fonts that
are on Photoshop.

5. PROCESS
 I then looked more into
detail and closer in to
what peopel need to
see on the magazine
cover. I then added in a
barcoad, price, date
and issue number
these are a big part of
the magazine for
people to see how
much the magazine is,
when it came out this
will be good for people
who collect them and
will be easy for them to
find out if the have it or
not by the issue
number in this came
#13

6. PROCESS
 I then went on to adding in my main
image I used the magic wand and
the eraser to help me cut out the
main image of the model. Once the
background was gone and I just
have the model I used the blur tool
to go around the model and make
the edges not as sharp and so it
doent look like it have just been
slaped on the magazine.
 After I had got the image I then went
on to putting all the text in to place
changing the size of the fonts and
making sure it all fit well together
changing the colour of the text so it
had a bit of colour.

7. PROCESS
 This is my final piece of my
magazine front cover that I
have created. Over all I am
very pleased with the out
come from all the editing to
getting all the conventions in
there how the colour
schemes fir well and the
different fonts fit nicely.

8. PRODUCTION REFLECTION
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

9. PROCESS
 I went on the same theme as my
front cover for my double page
spread for the background this
way it all links nicely to Katy Perry
and makes the magazine fit
together so they isn't a massive
difference.

10. PROCESS
 I then went on to adding in all of the text, for
the ‘Katy Perry’ I went on to her website and
took it from there and just changed the colour
to fit in with the colour scheme and the
models clothes I went for a shade of pink that
is on the girls dress. I then added in the article
that I produced my self talking about the
awards, the music industry, what she does in
her spare time and if she is doing any tours.
This then lets her audience know how she
feels about Woking in the music industry and
if she is doing at tours etc. At the end of the
article I also added in who the article was by
(Edited by Jordanne Kay) and a page
number (20) I also picked out from the article
a pull quote (I always dreamed of becoming
a popstar when I was a little girl) and
placed it on the opposite side to the article
where the image will be placed. I then put a
stroke around the writing of a cream to make
it stand out for when I place the image in the
background.

11. PROCESS
 I then went on to adding in the main image
of ‘Katy Perry’ holding her two awards. I
used the magic wand and eraser to edit
the image. I then used the blue tool to
smooth out the edges so she doesn’t look
like she’s been dumped in the double page
spread.
 Once I had added in the main image I
thought it looked a bit plane and boring
behind the model so I went on to the
internet and found a pink flower that I could
use behind the model just to fill some
space. I used the same flower and just
angled it and placed it is different placed I
also turned the opacity down so they was
faint and not bright and in your face.
 Overall I am please with the out come of
this double page spread, I have thought
about what an article looks like and used
the right format. I also like how I have used
the flowers in the background to fill some
space and it just fits in so well with the
dress and its girly.
