Production process
The document outlines the production process for designing a magazine front cover for a thriller film. It describes revisions made across three drafts. In the first draft, the costume and layout are deemed ineffective and cluttered. The second draft changes the clothing, adds a background effect, and receives feedback on further improvements. The final draft incorporates this feedback, changing fonts and colors for continuity across productions to better suit the thriller genre. It sharpens the main image, adds more text elements, and buzz words to complete the magazine cover design.
Making my magazine cover
This document describes the process of designing a magazine cover for a special horror edition. The designer chose an intimidating image and darkened it to create a creepy impression. Text was added such as the magazine masthead and cover lines of varying sizes and colors to draw attention. The title and credits were modified with glows and borders to make them stand out against the background image and tie into the horror theme. Minor adjustments were made to spacing, colors and effects to finalize a professional looking cover aligned with the designer's style model and goals.
Skills Development Journal
The document describes the 6 step process for creating the cover and inside page of a magazine titled "My Magazine for CCN". It details how the creator used the website dafont.com to design the masthead and title, added a greyscale student photo with falling colored letters as the background, and moved some letters in front of the photo. For the inside page, the creator made the falling letter image transparent and added the masthead, article information, and dividing red lines.
Sight and Sound Magazine Cover Analysis 1
The document discusses different design elements for a magazine cover promoting a film, including using a real background setting rather than green screen, featuring the director or important character in the center, including handwritten comments, using natural lighting that contrasts with the film's style but fits the magazine's tone, and showing the director or character in a costume that suits the film's noir style like a long coat.
Changes made 3
I made a few changes to improve my magazine, including changing the font of the masthead, adjusting the greyscale of a main image, and altering the cover story headline. The font was swapped to one without a background, the image contrast was increased to add shadows and make it appear darker, and the cover story title was replaced with one using the words "drugs" to potentially attract more reader attention.
Final 5 edits
The photographer intended to create scary images for a magazine through unsettling portrayals of models. One image featured a model with scary teeth and eyes to look "demonic" and "undead". Another aimed for a more subtle scare through a blue tint and dark lighting to imply a feeling of being watched. A third was meant as an advertisement poster for a drink but did not achieve the intended scary and dark theme, appearing too bright instead. The final photo used color changes to contrast a model's face with the background and show the difference between human and zombie, fulfilling the photographer's goal of an abstract catchy advertisement image.
Final 5 edits
The photographer intended to create scary and undead images to advertise a zombie energy drink. For one photo, they made the model look demonic with scary teeth and eyes to achieve an undead look. They were pleased with the result but wanted to add more details. For another photo, they aimed for a more subtle scare using a blue tint and dark lighting to create an eerie feeling of being watched, which they felt they accomplished. They would have liked to experiment with more effects. They felt a third photo was too bright and not scary enough to fit the theme.
Masthead And Photo Shoot
The document discusses planning for a magazine, including designing potential mastheads using fonts from dafont.com and selecting the title "Red Cherry". It also covers inspiration taken from the cover of Mixmag magazine for an upcoming studio photo shoot, aiming for a feminine look with emphasis on makeup and clothing, using contrasting colors like black, yellow and pink similar to the Mixmag cover.

All my photos taken
This document contains annotations for various photos taken for a magazine feature page. Many of the photos are commented on for having issues like poor lighting, focus, or composition that make them unsuitable despite other desirable qualities. A few photos are highlighted as very good examples that effectively capture emotion, use flattering angles, and have well-lit quality, but are still not used due to not fully representing the magazine's style or message. The main photo chosen for the feature page is praised for being edited to match the magazine's colors and stylistic vision.

6. production reflection(3) (1)
Nathan Millett reflects on the process of creating a poster and magazine pages about action games. To modify images and avoid copyright infringement, he used tools like the rubber tool, bucket tool, and magic wand tool to change colors, remove backgrounds, and adjust properties. He aimed to make the designs eye-catching with bright colors like red and blue, large text and images, and an engaging layout with quotes, prizes and interviews to draw in the target audience.
Magazine Potential Photos
The document discusses potential photos that could be used for a magazine spread focused on acoustic music. It considers photos for a double page spread, contents page, editorial profile, thumbnail images, and front cover. While several photos are liked for their composition, mise-en-scene, or ability to convey the acoustic genre, many are deemed not striking enough or to have background elements that could distract from text. Photoshop editing is explored to enhance some photos' suitability.
Film poster progress 2
The document discusses the progress made on designing a film poster to remember Jean. The designer changed the title text color from red to blue to avoid representing horror and added a gradient overlay to mimic fading memory. An image of a woman is being used temporarily until the designer can replicate the same effect with their own photo, and a shadow on the woman's face represents her memory fading into darkness. Various design experiments are discussed, including changing colors, removing photo blur and cropping, but the designer remains unhappy with certain aspects and plans to take a new photo.

Music magazine front cover peer review
The document provides peer reviews of drafts of a music magazine front cover. Peers provide feedback on making the cover lines and plectrum more prominent, balancing the layout, using a quote over the model, and adjusting the image and background colors. Based on the feedback, the designer lightens the model background, changes the amplifier color, and adjusts sizes. However, peers prefer the original background, so the designer decides to reshoot the cover image to better represent the magazine tone and stand out.
Image Manipulations
The document discusses editing two photos for a magazine cover using Photoshop. For the first photo of Becky, the editor increased brightness, contrast, and vibrance to make the colors more vibrant and eye-catching. Background blur was also added to focus attention on Becky. For the second photo of Emma, brightness and contrast were increased to enhance features and hair color. Background blur was again used to make the subject stand out against the backdrop. The editor believes the edited images now look more conventional and appealing for the magazine cover.
Photo-shoot
During a photo shoot for a rock magazine, the photographer took over 50 pictures but many came out blurry due to fast shutter speed.

Question 7 evaluation
Megan Darrall managed various aspects of producing her magazine, including booking equipment like cameras and green screens in advance, managing models' schedules and styling, and efficiently managing her time. She took photos on location outside of college rather than using a green screen for a more natural background. Megan addressed issues like reflections and lighting in her photos using Photoshop tools. She experimented with different fonts and layouts compared to her initial drafts based on feedback.
Development pro forma
The document describes a digital graphic narrative development task where the student created images in different styles including a comic book effect, photo story, text effects, and a narrative environment. The student provided an evaluation of each image, noting what they liked such as the simplistic comic book effect and details in the photo story, and improvements they would make such as adding more color or background details.
Development pro forma 1
Here is a revised version of the script based on the feedback:
Once upon a time there lived a poor widow and her young son, Jack. Struggling to make ends meet, Jack's mother told him they had no choice but to sell their beloved family cow, Bessie, in order to buy food for the winter.
Reluctantly, Jack led Bessie to the market. On the way, he came across a strange old man. "I'll trade you these magic beans for your cow," said the man. Jack was skeptical - what use were magic beans? But with his mother counting on him, he had no choice. He traded Bessie for five small, ordinary-looking beans.
Image manipulation (best one)
The document describes the process of editing a photo in Photoshop for a magazine mock cover design. It details using tools like the spot healing brush, Gaussian blur, and adjusting brightness/contrast to remove imperfections and achieve a "soft focus" look while still maintaining definition. Background layers were used with the Gaussian blur to selectively apply effects. Color balance, exposure, and cutting were also adjusted to create a "dark, edgy" aesthetic appropriate for a rock magazine genre. Creating a mock-up in Publisher helped experiment with overall design before the final piece.
Image manipulation

Some of the editing techniques used include spot healing to remove imperfections, adjusting brightness/contrast, adding Gaussian blur, editing color balance and exposure. Creating layers and using an eraser helped apply effects selectively. Aligning the image and choosing a masthead color were also important design decisions.

Q1
The document discusses the creation of a music magazine cover for a media studies project. The student looked at covers of Empire, Entertainment Weekly, and Total Film for inspiration. They took aspects like the masthead placement and using close-up actor photos. They created the cover in Photoshop, experimenting with different layouts and images before settling on one that best represented their film. The final cover draws from conventions of researched magazines like Entertainment Weekly, with a neat column layout and bold colors that tie the design together.

Ancillary tasks - magazine progress
- 1. Ancillary Tasks - Magazine Progress
- 2. This is the beginning of my magazine. I am making my magazine cover on Photoshop. Here I have designed the masthead, based on the one for 'Total Film'.
- 3. Here I have added a silver stroke around the masthead to make it stand out, since I am planning on having a dark background. This film magazine will not be specific to a film genre - it will be like 'Total Film' in that it will cover all 'blockbusters'.
- 4. Here I have removed the blue background from the image. I have hidden the masthead for the moment while I edit the image.
- 5. I changed the contrast and colours slightly to be more effective, and I will need to smooth out the edges better. I have also shaped the top of Sarah’s hoodie better as it looked a bit unnatural!
- 6. I experimented with various colours for the background, however none seem right for the image. I changed the colour of the stroke around the masthead to match the image more, but I may make it thicker so it will stand out more.
- 7. I then decided to try using another image for the background. Here I have used an image of woods, and I think that fits quite well. This image has been copied from Google Images for now as I was experimenting, but I will take my own image and substitute it in.
- 8. I then cut Jade from the image of her and Sarah so that I could darken it to indicate that she is the antagonist, however I don’t know if I will keep it this way.
- 9. I copied the title ‘Vengeance’ from the poster so that both the trailer and the poster are linked to the magazine. Because of the red glow and stroke around ‘Vengeance’ I decided to change the colour of the stroke around the masthead to match this.
- 10. This is how far I have got on my magazine so far. Next I will be putting on a tagline and some subheadings, as well as following the conventions of magazines by adding a barcode and price and perhaps some graphics.
