2. Photo Selection contents page
I chose this photograph
because I really like the split
lighting and my model’s
expression because she is
clearly engaged with the
camera.
I chose this photograph because I
liked the angle and I liked how
clearly you can see the headphones.
I chose this image because I really like
how the right hand is blurred
I chose these 2 photographs because I love the mise en scene and
I feel like they will make my contents page look a lot more
professional because they have concert lighting.
I really like this photo because of
my model’s makeup and I think it
could look good on the contents
page
3. Drawn Design
I have chosen to use Orator Std as my
heading and for my editorial pillars as
it is very contemporary and will stand
out on the page. I will use Calibri for
my article titles and leading text as it
is easy to read and still very bold. In
terms of colours, I want to use red,
black and white as this is the
continued colour scheme throughout
my pages and will create uniformity
between the pages.
4. On each image, I used the shadow
and highlight tool to make them
clearer. I then used the brightness and
contrast tool to add depth to each
photo and make my photographs look
more pop/professional.
5. I made my contents page on
Photoshop. I used the text box tool
to insert all of my text and changed
the font colours to work with my
images. I used the shape tool to
insert my banners and the place
tool to insert my photographs. I
made sure that I had my masthead
in the top right hand corner to
create a sense of branding.
8. Having been given my feedback, I have changed my colour scheme. I chose to use a bright blue and pink as they are both bright
and contrast each other and this is a technique often employed by Pop magazines such as ‘Top of the Pops’ to catch the eye of
readers and those colours work well next to my photos which are mostly purple toned.
I then went about looking for a new font to replace AR Bonnie and Orator Std. I looked through all of the fonts already on my
school and home computers but decided I’d be better off finding a new one online. I went onto Dafont.com and looked through
all of the possible fonts I could use before settling on GoBold. I downloaded and installed it to my home computer and used
Gobold itallic as well on my contents page to create some variation.
Font and Colour Scheme Changes
9. I played with the hue of my photographs
to make them all a bit more purple
toned to match my new colour scheme
which I created with the paint bucket
tool. I also increased the levels of blue in
the photos to make a sense of house
style.
11. I used the rulers to make
sure everything is
equally spaced out and
aligned with each
element
I inserted an image of my
front cover into my
subscription box to show
what it advertises visually.
I extended my
banner all the way
across the page and
put the date and
issue number in it so
that it has a clear
function.
I moved my
selfie closer to
my name to
make it clear
that it’s the
editor in the
photo.
I got rid of the ‘p’ in
front of each number
as I felt it was already
obvious what the
numbers were for.
See next slide for more
adaptations
12. Moved my masthead to the left and heading to the right to
follow convention. I also changed my Masthead font to match
that on the front for consistency. I also made these larger to fill
the space.
I made all of my boxes here the same size to create
uniformity
I lined up the start of my leading text with my page number
I made sure everything was correctly aligned
I ensured my fonts weren’t overlapping by
creating space around the Editorial Pillars
I added captions to photos to show what each one is
I moved my photo and subscription box together to
make way for more leading text
