Stages of production

1. Pictures of the stages of
production

2. Front cover

3. Stage 1.
• I added a yellow background
with a gradient.
• I put the image onto the cover
and made sure it fit the page.
• I then put the masthead on the
top of the page in a bright pink
colour. I had to make sure the
font was a bold thick one so
that it stood out.
• I then but a blue band at the
top of the page and a thicker
yellow band on the bottom of
the page.

4. Stage 2.
• Next I added the main text, I
added the magazines slogan
and then I added the cover
stars name and the main cover
line.
• I also put the puffs in which
where graphs that would make
the magazine stand out. I
added a yellow star with a blue
outline and a blue box with a
black dotty border.

5. Stage 3.
• Then I added the rest of the
text. This was the other cover
lines. They where at the top of
the page, the sides of the page,
the bottom of the page, and in
the blue box.
• I also added another puff and
some text which was a cover
line about fashion. This was in a
pink circle with a blue border.

6. Stage 4.
• Next I added the barcode, issue
number and date. As well as a
pink arrow at the bottom of the
page

7. Stage 5.
• Finally I added pictures of
clothes that I had taken and
removed the back ground of.
• I then also added 3 other
pictures at the bottom of the
page that where acting as
posters in the magazine. I had
put a pink filter on them so
they fitted with the colour
scheme of the magazine.

8. Contents page

9. Stage 1.
• Firstly I made the background of
the contents page. I wanted it to be
white with a thick pink border. And
have random parts of pink on it as
well
• Next I added the website at the
bottom of the page and the page
number
• I then added a box for the list of
pages with their numbers
• I also added a box for the editors
note and put a fairly thick blue
border on it
• I then started outlining where I
wanted the pictures down the side
of the page to go.
• I then put a yellow band at the
bottom of the page
• The final thing here was to add the
title. The hardest part of this was to
come up with the play on words
and chose a font that I liked.

10. Stage 2.
• Next I added the main text, I added
the editors note, which I wrote on
Microsoft Word and then copied it
in so I knew that it had been spell
checked correctly.
• Then I added the artists names
down the side of the page.
• I then added the list of pages and
their page numbers
• Next I added a few articles such as
the one about Katy Perry and the
one about Zoella. For the one with
Zoella I used the tool that allows
you to follow the path of a shape
and type around it, so I put the
circle on the page and then typed
Zoella around it.
• I then added the picture of Julia
onto the page and made sure it was
on a pink back ground with a black
box round it, with her name on it so
it stood out on the page.

11. Stage 3.
• This stage was all about putting
the page numbers on the page.
• I made sure they were in a
thick font, with bright colour
and a border around them in
contrasting colours. This will
help them stand out which is
important as the main function
of the contents page is so you
know what articles are on what
pages.

12. Stage 4.
• Finally I added my photos in. I
put them on the side of the
page and also a picture of a
friend that is meant to be
Zoella and of another friend
that is part of the summer
hunks page.
• Lastly I made sure all the layout
was right on the page and
added some competitions and
text to fill the space
• I also added some more
information across the yellow
band such as the magazines
twitter page and Instagram.

13. Double page spread

15. Stage 1.
• Firstly I created the background for the
page. I made it pink and used the gradient
tool so that it was lighter where the
majority of the writing will be. This should
make it easier so the audience to read as
well as making the page look nicer.
• I then put a white box on the page at an
angle to make the page look more
interesting. I had seen this done on We love
pop’s double page spread and so I wanted
to do this on mine.
• I also added the picture in and made sure I
was happy with its placing and size on the
page
• I then added the website and page number
onto the bottom of the page
• Next I added a blue box into the middle of
the right hand page with a thick pink
border, this was to put a picture in later in
the production that related to one of the
artist’s answers.

17. Stage 2.
• At this stage I put a large pull quote onto
the top of the page. I put it in quite a girly,
fun font but still one that stood out.
• I also then put the image into the box and
put a quote from the article I had written in
it.
• I also then put the artists name, Julia, at the
top of the right hand page. This would be
the same on every interview with a pop
star.

19. Stage 3.
• Lastly I added in the interview that I wrote.
I put this into columns as this is very
conventional of magazine interviews.
• I also changed the colours so that the
questions and answers where in different
colours.
• I also added a drop capital at the start of
the interview.
