Photographs taken for front cover, contents page
The document discusses photos taken for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread of a magazine. For the contents page, the photographer chose two concert photos showing well-known rock bands to fit the music theme. Closer shots of the front cover model were used so readers could see her better. Some initial photos for the double page spread were too dark or blurry, so clearer images that conveyed the desired message were selected instead.
Types of images used for
This document discusses three types of images used in publishing: front covers, contents pages, and double paged spreads. Front covers and contents pages are single page images, while double paged spreads span two facing pages to allow for larger images.
Photography and Editing
The document discusses several photographs selected for a school project and the editing process. It describes three photos, including details about lighting, poses, and shadows. One photo works well for the contents page due to its clear image and relaxed atmosphere. Another photo effectively shows the subjects' expressions. The document also outlines steps for editing photos in Photoshop, including using the magic wand tool to cut out backgrounds, changing the background color, smoothing edges with brush and blur tools, and making edits less noticeable.

The document discusses how the media producer used, developed, and challenged conventions from real magazines in creating their own magazine cover and contents. They looked at conventions from Q Magazine, NME Magazine, and XXL Magazine regarding layout, use of images, fonts, and color schemes. While adopting some conventions like placing the largest font on cover models, they also made changes like using a single image on the cover to focus on an up-and-coming artist, and altering backgrounds to suit their target audience.
My chosen images
The document discusses using various images for different sections of an indie music magazine. An image of a drummer will be used on the cover with the background removed to represent the indie rock genre. An image of models in an archway will be used on the contents page with added borders and filters. Another image of a musician holding something will be used on the contents page in the bottom corner after editing the contrast. An image of a female musician will be used as a double page spread, with the background removed and multiple copies in different colors. A second image of a musician with a ukulele will also be used as a double page spread with the background removed.

The front cover photograph of a singer looking at a microphone conveys his dedication to music and passion, which will attract the target audience. Interior photos from concerts will allow readers to feel like they are experiencing a live show.

Images For My Magazine
The document discusses ideal images for a magazine. It describes wanting images set in a dark, rocky local setting that fit the audience.

Successful images used a flash to create sharp, in-focus shots that fit the dark, rocky theme.

Production Process Double Page Spread
The document describes the steps taken to layout an interview in Quark Express, including importing text and images, formatting text, centering and enlarging images, creating frames and effects, and experimenting with a collage of photos. However, the initial draft had problems with unfilled text areas and an inability to include individual member photos. The process revealed difficulties using Quark Express.
Making of contents_page
The document describes the process of creating a contents page for a media publication. It discusses four stages: 1) drafting initial concepts, 2) creating a digital mock-up, 3) producing a final hand-drawn draft, and 4) making multiple attempts at the final contents page design. The author refined the design through these attempts, addressing issues like image tone, font choices, layout, and use of space until arriving at a final satisfactory version.
Step by step creation
The document outlines the 5 step process for creating the front cover, contents page, and a double page spread for a magazine called "Moshpit".
For the front cover, the steps included adding the basic layout, header/footer captions, issue details, main image and additional coverlines. For the contents page, the steps built out the mastheads, article layout, and inclusion of image captions. And for the double page spread, the process involved adding the magazine masthead, subheading, article text, main image, and secondary image with caption.
Evaluation - Question 6
The document discusses the technologies used to create a magazine front cover, contents page, and double page spread. Photoshop was used to edit photos, add effects like hue/saturation, create the front cover text and masthead with effects like bevel and emboss. InDesign allowed formatting of text across pages in columns but was less effective for photo editing than Photoshop. The student found Photoshop easy to learn effects and editing in, while InDesign was better for text formatting though harder for other edits. Overall, Photoshop and InDesign were used to create the three documents, with each program's strengths relied on.
Photoshop - Listen front cover print screens
This document summarizes the steps taken to create a magazine front cover in Photoshop. The creator first built the background using paint bucket and rectangle tools to make a barcode. A masthead font was chosen and banner added to follow music magazine conventions. Details like social media links, price, date and issue number were included. The cover image was isolated using pen and eraser tools, and duplicated/overlapped with effects. Cover lines in different fonts concluded the design.
Contents Page Production Steps
The document describes the 8 steps to creating a contents page for a magazine in QuarkXPress. It involves: 1) creating a single page and master page, 2) adding the title in red to match the magazine color scheme and including the front cover image, 3) listing article titles in red font, 4) conducting photo shoots to get correct images, 5) laying out images on the page, 6) positioning images next to article titles, 7) adding red numbers on images to link to articles, and 8) completing the final contents page.
As research & planning 2011-2012
This document summarizes a student's media studies foundation portfolio project on designing a rap and hip-hop music magazine. It includes the original cover page, contents page, and a double-page article spread. The student reflects on targeting the audience, using Photoshop and InDesign, researches models, and modifies the pages based on feedback. Key modifications to pages included more pictures on the cover, better cover lines, and only using original images for the double-page spread.
presentation slides
The document is a student's portfolio for a media studies foundation course. It includes reflections on a preliminary magazine project where the student aimed to design a music magazine targeted at 16-19 year olds. It also outlines research conducted on magazine design elements and provides examples of the student's magazine contents page and double-page spread layouts. The portfolio demonstrates the design process and reflects on areas for further improvement.
Analysing of front page drafts
Alex Marshall made several changes across 5 drafts of a magazine front page layout to improve the design and emphasis. The key changes included enlarging the masthead to emphasize the brand, moving the model picture and headline to draw attention, adding and repositioning additional elements like features and the lure based on research, and adjusting colors and fonts for increased visibility and readability.
Creating my front cover
The document describes the four step process for creating a magazine front cover in Photoshop and Fireworks. Step one involves choosing and editing the main image, cropping out the background in Photoshop and making it blue. Step two is adding the image to Fireworks and creating the title/masthead. Step three adds additional text describing features and coming up with a slogan. Step four adds final details like the date, issue number, and barcode. Feedback was received that it looked too dark, so brightness and contrast were adjusted to complete the front cover.

- 3. Stage 2 2. I changed the photograph, added a secondary photo, typed up the text and a colour scheme became apparent. I warped the text around the photo fro emphasis.
- 4. Stage 3 3. I added a quote on top of the text to add interest and pull, I modified the text and adjusted the colours to my colour scheme.
- 5. Stage 4 • 4. I added a quote onto the top of the photo page. I modified the text to stand out and lowered the bottom layer’s opacity to give an interesting effect.
- 6. Stage 5 • 5. I added a miniature ‘album preview’ to the bottom of the text page, I also included a date of album release.
- 7. Stage 6 • 6. I adjusted text, added an article title, adjusted colours e.t.c and changed the general layout.
