The document describes the process of creating a music magazine using Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. Photoshop was used to edit images by cropping, manipulating and adding effects. InDesign allowed the creator to assemble the magazine by adding layers of text, images and other elements. Key elements like the front cover, contents page and a double-page article were constructed in InDesign using edited images and styled text from Photoshop. Processes like erasing backgrounds and adding effects were used to prepare professional-looking elements for the magazine.

The document describes the programs and process used to create a music magazine. Adobe Photoshop was used to edit and manipulate images, while Adobe InDesign pulled everything together. Key steps included making a gray background in Photoshop and placing it in InDesign, editing cover images in Photoshop and placing them in layers in InDesign, and adding text boxes and layers in InDesign. The contents page was created using similar techniques, including editing images and adding colored backgrounds and effects to topics. Double page articles also involved editing images in Photoshop and placing them in layers in InDesign along with headings and text.
Reflection
The document reflects on the creator's process for designing different elements of a magazine project in Photoshop and InDesign. For the front cover, they experimented with effects to cut out and outline a character image. For the double page spread, they were pleased with the outcome for their first time using InDesign and learned that increasing image size improved quality upon export. They enjoyed having a full-page image on one side with text on the other. Creating lines and moving elements in InDesign caused some issues. The website design was meant to be simple and easy to understand, focusing on individual artists to represent different styles without unnecessary images or text.

Evaluation of my recreation
Michael evaluated how he recreated a magazine. He began by creating a logo in Illustrator and setting up the background in InDesign. He then took photos of models and edited them in Photoshop to mimic poses from the original. Facing issues importing images into InDesign, he selected parts from the original in Photoshop to add. While InDesign is good for layout, the images became pixelated and some tools were missing. Moving forward, he would do more editing in Photoshop before InDesign and take more photos to improve upon his recreation.
Making of the contents page
The document describes the process of designing a contents page for a magazine in Photoshop. It includes sketching a plan for photograph placement, establishing a red and white color scheme. Images were imported and edited, with techniques like magnetic selection and feathering edges used. Text and additional photos were added, wrapped around images to create flow. Shadows were applied to text for visibility. Social media logos were included at the bottom to mimic real magazines. The final contents page followed the cover's color scheme and included photos, page numbers, and text headlines connected visually.
Evaluation
1. The document describes the process of designing magazine spreads and a cover page for a feature article.
2. For the first spread, guidelines were added and small adjustments were made to elements to create a tighter, neater design.
3. A second spread was designed from the start with guidelines to allow quicker, proportionate work. More white space made the page look "fuller".
4. A double-page feature article cover was created by extending a portrait photo across two pages in Photoshop. Transparent text was added over the photo.
Use of Technology
The document discusses various tools used to create a magazine, including selection, editing, and layout tools. Layers were used to combine elements onto the magazine cover. Filters further edited photographs. Shapes, frames, and effects like drop shadows were applied. Fonts were found online and saved for future use. A blog was created to showcase work using SlideShare to embed PowerPoint presentations. Photographs were edited using Paint Shop Pro for brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpening to prepare images for the front cover and spreads.
Construction Of Magazine - Tom Doona (G321)
The document describes the construction of the front cover, contents page, and double page spread for a music magazine created in Adobe InDesign. The front cover was difficult to design and required adjusting the colors and positioning of images to make it look more professional. The contents page construction was easier as the layout had been pre-planned. For the double page spread, images were initially too small so text wrapping was difficult, but adjusting the images and using a dark color palette helped create an organized look.

The horror film
Horror is a genre that uses explicit violence and gore to frighten viewers, emerging in the late 19th century with films like Frankenstein and Nosferatu. As technology advanced in the 1950s, horror shifted from gothic themes to concerns more relevant to modern audiences, dividing into films about Armageddon and demonic possession. One famous example is The Exorcist from 1973, about a teenager possessed by an entity where her mother seeks priests for help.

- 2. Front Cover To start with I decided on this photo as my background but then I realised that it didn’t really fit in to what I was aiming for. The font choice I was happy with so I decided to stick with that.
- 3. I changed the photo and I was much happier with it. On the masthead I used the clone tool to add the effect of it trailing off the edge of the page and being never ending. I then went on to adding all the anchorage and items carrying on with the colour scheme and fonts.
- 4. I then became close to finishing the cover with only a few more items to place on it such as a graphic feature and a web address and the issue number.
- 5. Contents To start with I didn’t really know what to do for my contents page so I experimented with doing things like this. But I didn’t like it so I changed it completely.
- 6. So I started with placing photo’s in the right places and working around them with the text that needed to be placed onto the contents page.
- 7. Now my contents page was coming together and only needed a few tweaks to get it finished. I just needed to place something in the blank spaces. Originally I tried adding single photos of the guys in the band and put little individual interviews next to them but I decided against that and put advertisements there for competitions.
- 8. Double Page For this I started out with the photo and worked around it. Once again I wanted the text to flow off the page so I used the clone tool to give it that effect.
