This document summarizes the steps taken to design the front page, contents page, and a double page spread for a magazine in a digital design program. Key details include resizing images, changing fonts and colors, adding titles, prices and credits, and arranging text and images to fill space. Rulers were used to align elements neatly. The final pages featured colored shapes, photos, and text styles to make certain elements stand out from the background.
1. Front Page
In this print screen
it shows the after
affect of me editing
the photo. I resized
and changed the
sharpness to bring
out more colour. I
also put the title
and the name of
the rapper on the
front with a black
shape surrounding
the word
“Manickz”. I did this
by rasterizing the
shape, putting it on
a angle and rubbed
it out to get the
effect using brush
preset 59.
2. Front Page
In this screenshot I
again rasterized a
shape with some
other writing in it. I
found the fonts by
searching through
the fonts and
though the just
jamming looked
good in the
feedback font. I also
put a barcode price
and date on the
magazine in the
bottom right corner
with a shape behind
them to make it
stand out.
3. Front Page
This is the
finished front
page. The final
touches I put on
were putting
some names of
other rap
artists. I did this
because it looks
good and fills up
the empty space
which is just a
wall.
4. Contents Page
This is the
starting of my
contents page. I
resized the
image and cut a
bit of the wall off
on the left. I also
put the word
Manickz in
parallel to the
man in the
picture and also
fits in there as
there is a black
drain pipe on he
other side.
5. Contents Page
In this print
screen I put a
black background
and a yellow
shape with
writing in that
stands out. I also
put a photo in
also in the black
shape. For the
start of the
writing I put
some rulers in so I
could line up the
page numbers so
it would look
neat. I also put
the contents title
at the top.
6. Contents Page
This is the finished
contents page and
the final touches
where putting the
writing next to the
numbers and I also
put some more
writing in the
bottom right and
the highest yellow
shape .
7. Double Page Spread
This is a print screen
of the starting of my
double page spread.
I put one half of the
page in yellow as
that is a colour I
have been using
quite a lot in my
magazine. I also put
Manickz and new
album in different
fonts and in black
and than yellow
shapes to make
them stand out.
8. Double Page Spread
In this screenshot
I put the writing
about Manickz on
a photo of some
of his crew
dancing and the
interview. I used
bold for the
questions as it
makes them
stand out and
also spaced
everything out to
make it look neat.
9. Double Page Spread
This is the finished
double page
spread, I put gray
backgrounds
behind the text so
it was easier to
read. I also put a
title at the top. I
used rulers a lot to
make everything fit
and be the same
size.
