The document describes the process taken to design a magazine spread. The designer originally planned to feature the band Guardians but had complications. They then changed the spread to feature a different artist. The designer added articles, selected an image of the artist to use, changed the background color, carefully cut out and placed the artist on the new background, added effects to blur and enhance the background color, and modified the article text styling. In the end, the designer produced a magazine spread featuring a different artist than originally planned.
1. To start of with I did the band the
Guardians. Here after placing in
the article, it was time to do the
images. I had to import them and
rearrange to places were they
best fitted on the spread.
Unfortunately due to some
complications I could no longer
use this band.
2. So I then changed
to do a story on a
different artist. I
added the articles
into rows of 3.
Placed the strip
behind the title
going with the
colour red as the
colour scheme
follows on from
the front cover.
3. After looking through images
of the artist too see which one
I would like to use as the final
one. I chose this one where it
has a plain brick wall as a
background. So I decided to
change the background to a
more vibrant and appealing
colour.
4. Before placing him onto
the new background I
had to cut him out and
erase around him
carefully and neatly.
5. Once I placed him onto the new
background I started to use the
effects the blur the back ground
slightly as it looked uneven I also
went on the curve tool to
enhance the colour.
6. I then again added
the article and
changed the font
colour, structure
and title of article. I
went with this
different direction
because I thought it
looks a lot more
interesting and
professional.
7. In the end this is what my product looked like.
