The document describes Amna Afzal's process for designing graphics and layouts for a music magazine. It discusses her choices for the logo colors and font to appear urban. It shows the original and edited photos used for the front cover, contents page, and a double page spread. Amna used Photoshop tools like burning, cropping, and adjusting lighting to enhance the photos and remove unnecessary elements. The goal was to portray intimidating and powerful images fitting the magazine's R&B/hip-hop genre.

1. MY MAGAZINE POWER
POINT INTRODUCTION
By Amna Afzal

2. LOGO• The colour scheme i had chosen for my logo was red and white, this is
because it looks urban and are two unique colours, also the font i had
chosen looks like a type of graffiti which is what we usually see on the streets
and in music magazines and also music videos.
• Originally the colour scheme i had chosen for my logo was black and yellow,
but i felt that the colours didn't match as well to my standards and didn't look
urban enough to me or the type of colours we would use or see in a music
video or magazine.
i chose to put my logo
on a black background
as it makes the colours
stand out and show
more.

3. FRONT COVER PICTURE
To my right is two pictures
the first one is the picture
I photo shopped for my
front cover magazine
brightening his face and
ensuring he looks
intimidating, the clothes
he is wearing fits in with
the genre of my
magazine, and I cropped
the bits I did not need
using the wizard tool on
photo shop.

4. CONTENTS PAGE PICTURE
This is the contents page picture
the first one is the original photo
and the second one is the
photoshopped photo, I used the
burn tool to burn some bits I
wanted to stand out and I
cropped out the background and
unnecessary bits that were not
needed I chose this one over
my last years one as I believe it
looks more masculine and
intimidating as that’s what I was
intending on doing.

5. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD PHOTO
These are the two
pictures one of which I
photo shopped and
the original photos as
we can see I had to do
a lot of editing by
cropping and sorting
out lighting and taking
off any unwanted
things I did not need. It
was hard to crop my
third person so I
cropped everything
and done his edits
separately
It was intended for the males to have a shadow on
their face or a dark area to make them look powerful
and intimidating which is how they are usually seen in
the context of the genre I have chosen so I intended to
do them following my genre.
Tools: brightening, contrast,
burn tool for vibrancy and
enhancement wizard and
rubber tool for background

6. PHOTO OPTIONS (JUST A LITTLE
SELECTION I HAD TO CHOOSE FROM)

7. FRONT COVER ANNOTATION NEW
This is my logo for my magazine that I have originally created using
the font from a website called da fonts in order to get the specific
font I required, it looks like graffiti font that would be used in the
genre of magazines that my magazine is based on so, RNB/HIP
HOP. It stands out on the page very eye catching and easy to
identify the logo, beneath the logo it states what OG stands for which
when hearing what it stands for will grab the right target market and
audience.
The exclusive interview stands out as its in the house style colours
and is something different on the whole page which becomes
engaging and eye catching as it says “exclusive interview”
persuading the reader want to read on what happens next or what
has happened.
Maybach music is one of the biggest U.S record label who have
people like Meek Mill who is a well know Artist as well as DJ
Khaled who is also signed under Maybach music record label, if
audiences saw this they would think it’s a suitable product for them
to read as it specify what it contains and the genre of music they're
attracted to and listen to wanting to make them buy it and allowing
them to read more on the article that carries on onto page 2 and
who this new “star” is that is also now signed under one of the
biggest U.S record label who deals with well known artists. As this
is one of the main things I would like my target audience to see I
put this in big bold writing to make it stand out and look attractive to
the consumers wanting and encouraging to buy it, I believe the
different font styles grab certain peoples attention or the right
attention depending on bits which are important and want to stand
out to encourage and persuade customers into buying the product.
