The document summarizes experiments conducted in creating a magazine mockup. Key elements included: - Using basic shapes and the rectangle tool to create a red and white header. - Choosing fonts from Dafont for the title and headings and using the magic wand tool to isolate text. - Adding album artwork and cutting out an artist image using selection tools. - Incorporating a contest sticker and adding headlines with effects like stroke to make text stand out.

1. Experiments
Your Name

2. Process
I started my magazine with a basic background using the rectangle tool
to make a top header, I chose the colours red and white for the main
colour scheme because it helps highlight the images and text used.

3. I then used Dafont too pick which font I want too use for the title
and header, using the merge tool I created the title of the
magazine. I also chose a sub heading using dafont again, I cut out
the text using the magic wand tool so its clean and easy to read.

4. I then chose three albums which I thought would fit the title, and using the
shape tool I made a back board for each image, making the albums stand out
and so the middle image doesn’t merge into the white background.

5. The next step I chose an image of a widely known artist, and again using the
magic wand tool I cut out the background. I placed the layer at the bottom so
the image is behind the title and other text I am going to add.

6. Using the rubber and magic wand tool I cut out a contest
sticker from a kerrang! magazine.

7. I then chose a main headline for the magazine using Dafont and the text
on photshop, I used the stroke effect choosing colours from dave grohls
shirt and from the main colour scheme allowing the text too stand out
and blend in to the magazine.

8. The final adjustment I made for the magazine was adding several
exclusive headers too add to the page. I used the stroke tool again so the
text on dave’s face is readable.

9. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
• From the experiment I will include the top header and contest sticker only
choosing different story’s and I will try too design my own sticker.
• I will use a similar image and the same technique on the main image only
more related too my target audience and initial plans.
• I would like too put the line of x’s under the exclusive title because I just
think it looks cool and makes it seem more important.
• I am going to use the exact same title of 2-D again with caption
underneath it saying “ the music that matters”.
