2. I began with a background and 3 photos which aligned. I wanted to begin with 3 columns and so I put them at the top of the page so they can stand out. I chose these images as they are nice with a good variety of shots. I wanted a long shot but I am using one for my double page spread so I chose not too. These images received no form of editing as all.

3. I then added a final image at the bottom of the page to give the contents a bit more shape and more colour and texture. I also added the masthead and the name of my music magazine. I didn’t make it too big as I didn’t want it to draw attention away from the image as they already know what magazine they are looking at from the front page.

4. The next step was adding in text boxes. I added in the text to fill the page and created the text based in the columns they were already in. I used a different font each time to give it something extra and to make it seem unattractive and boring. It would have been boring have I had the same font all the way through. I also added a header at the top saying ‘this week in’ which works as an introduction onto the page.

5. I then added several other smaller things. I added a picture of my front cover which I rotated. I added some lines which I created in paint which cuts off and makes things in the magazine clearer and easier to read. I also cut out numbers which I got from 28 days later font and put them next to the picture. I used the drag tool to set them up.
