Q6 final
The document describes the use of various technologies to edit images and design pages for a music magazine cover project. Photoshop was used to edit backgrounds and precisely select image areas using various brush sizes. Instagram was used to adjust image contrast, sharpness and shadows to make photos darker and clearer for the genre. A Canon camera captured high-quality photos for the cover and content page, while an iPhone took poster images. PowerPoint helped lay out the cover, content page and spread precisely by positioning images and lining up fonts professionally. FontSpace provided suitable fonts without backgrounds to match the target audience.

The font website Dafont helped choose styles fitting the country music genre.
College magazine evaluation
After producing their first college magazine, the author evaluates its strengths and weaknesses to improve their next music magazine. The front cover lacked color and had too much empty space. While the contents page used layout effectively with images on one side and text on the other, both pages had the same style and colors. For the next magazine, the author will add a colorful background, use more varied fonts and colors, and ensure the cover has less blank space by adding more headlines and captions around the central image.
Content page powrpoint
Halima Khan created a content page for her magazine "N hits" that matched the layout of the front cover to maintain consistency. She chose the fourth photo she had taken and edited in Photoshop as the main image because it had a similar pose to the front cover photo, making it easier for readers to identify which magazine it was from. She further edited the main photo in Photoshop using photo filters and brightness/contrast adjustments to make it stand out more on the content page compared to the front cover images. Halima used a bright red color on the content page to distinguish it from the front cover but kept the recognizable "N" logo to indicate all pages were from the same magazine.
My magazine recreation
The student recreated the cover of a magazine called TOTAL FILM using Photoshop and InDesign, which they were familiar with Photoshop but had to learn how to use InDesign. They imported images and used cutting tools to recreate elements from the original cover. They also recreated the text. Though new to InDesign, they felt they did an okay job recreating the overall look and key elements of the original cover.
Front Cover Guide

Overall, the document discusses how Powell constructed the magazine pages using tools in Photoshop and Quark and reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the design.
Magazine Production Experiments
Rebecca Edwards created a magazine front cover in Photoshop using various tools. She placed and enlarged the main cover image, adjusted its brightness and darkness to establish a color scheme. Larger fonts were used for the title near the top to catch the reader's eye, while simpler fonts were used for other text at the bottom. Effects like inner shadows were added to text for visual interest.
For a double page spread, Rebecca placed a background image in Photoshop and InDesign. Text was written across both pages and effects like gradients and images were added. Care was taken to ensure text visibility against backgrounds. Images were placed alongside rather than covering the article text so it could still be read fully. Lessons were

- 1. Negative Space White space, the area of page without text, image or other elements. Something I would improve when making my music magazine would be keeping negative space to a minimum as it is not fulfilling and purpose. I would do this by adding more text, pictures and fillers. Feature Article Photograph For the feature article photograph, I set Jessica against I white background to ensure that cutting her out from the background would be easier. Next time, I would use the green screen to ensure that there were no jagged edges and the outline of my feature photograph is smooth. Flush Left/Right Although I have used Flush left and flush right, Magazines should be presented in columns. When I am producing my music magazines I will ensure that my text is presented in columns and that I include more text to fill negative space. Master Head Although the master head is large it isn’t bold or gripping in any way. To improve upon this I would ensure that the master head pulls the reader ion.
- 2. Negative Space White space, the area of page without text, image or other elements. Something I would improve when making my music magazine would be keeping negative space to a minimum as it is not fulfilling and purpose. I would do this by adding more text, pictures and fillers. Typography Havn’t varied the fonts within the contents page, varying the fonts and size makes the page more interesting. It should be clear and visible. When making my music magazine I will ensure to keep typography in mind. Puff No puff included in the contents page to unties the reader. Anybody looking at this contents page will deter them from reading the magazine, not enough information included in the contents page. In my music magazine I will include images, text and information to promote the magazine to the reader. Images The contents page only includes one poorly presented image. The image does not tell the reader a lot about the contents of the magazine. For my next magazine issue, more photographs will be used to give more information and to fill negative space.
- 3. IPhone camera One form of technology I used to produce my magazine is a camera, this was to capture the image used as my feature article photograph. When taking a photo I had to concentrate on lighting and camera angles. This photograph was taken as long shot with the focus of the photograph looking straight into the lenses. Quick selection and eraser tool – Photoshop I used the quick selection tool in order to quickly select the areas of the photograph I wanted to erase. Although this tool is very useful, you have to be very precise in order for the photograph to retain its quality. On the school logog you can see an example of where I didn’t use the eraser tool presisely enough. Text tool – Photoshop To write over my feature article photograph, I used the text tool and the layering feature on Photoshop. The text tool includes a variation fonts and sizes. In order to produce my overall outcome, I used Photoshop. The reason for this is because there is a wide variation of tools to enhance and create images to produce an effective outcome including text and images. Here are some tools and technology I used to within Photoshop to produce the outcome:
