- 1. This is when I first started my magazine in Photoshop. I started by choosing a picture from my photoshoot that I was going to use for my main article. I then decided my masthead for my magazine that was ‘Pop Central’. I got this idea from my survey, as this got the majority of votes.
- 2. In this screenshot, I have changed the size of my masthead and centred it on my front cover. I changed the colours and lighting on my image to smooth out my skin and even everything out with my background. My background changed to a light pink and blue which I took inspiration for from a magazine front cover I found that uses the same colour scheme. Also, this was to match my survey and the colours that my audience wanted. I added my strapline colours of pink and black at the bottom of my front cover, which followed a theme of an arrow that I would then include underneath my masthead as well. I included Spotify and Twitter symbols as they were the social media sights that got the most amount of votes in my survey. Barcode
- 3. Here, I added the black and pink arrows underneath my masthead for it to match the strapline theme. I did this by using the bottom section arrow at the bottom of my front cover and repeating it at the top. I changed my font colour to white for it to stand out when someone looks at my magazine. By using the black and the white as well as the two main colours of pink and blue, I am covering and including every colour that got a vote in my survey. Masthead
- 4. In this screenshot, I have added the Facebook symbol at the bottom section of my magazine to link in with the requested social media links from my survey. I have moved my front cover into page plus in order to add my writing for my articles on the cover. This is where I will also complete my double page spread that consists of my main article.
- 5. Here, I have completed adding all of my writing to my front cover. It includes 5 different articles that are included inside my magazine and also there is an extra article at the bottom next to the social media links. I included something to do with summer in order for it to match the front cover I got my inspiration from and also because my magazine issue was a summer edition. I added a freebie of posters in order to persuade people to purchase my magazine as everyone looks for a free gift in a magazine. I also included two pictures of the posters that are featured inside as a sneak-peak for people to see what they will receive. The main article is about an interview with a new celebrity which I made up using the picture of me and a fake celebrity name. This is centred in the centre next to the image to grab people’s attention. I used a box-out for my article on Adele as this is also a way to grab the audience’s attention as it stands out from the rest of the writing. The number ‘100’ is written in pink and a bigger font for the same effect. The number will grab people’s attention and make them want to find out what it’s about. I used different types of font for it to look more interesting, and I also changed the colours every so often. The addition of a slight bit of gold writing is also an inspiration from another magazine front cover.
- 6. This is the other magazine front cover that I got some inspiration from. For example, this is the cover that includes the gold writing to make an article stand out, so I used it for my main article for the same effect. Also, the huge number on the right hand side of the page stood out to me when I looked at the front cover, so I also applied this in a different way onto my front cover.
- 7. This is the double page spread that I found online that gave me inspiration and ideas for my own double page spread on my main article. From this, I liked how the picture really stood out as well as the name, and that they were involved, as the image is overlapping. So I wanted to do something similar. Using this image, I applied the style to my own main article and changed each section with the black titles to questions for my interview.
- 8. In this screenshot, I have applied the inspiration and ideas from the double page spread I found into my own magazine. I copied the style of the title for example the curly writing for ‘The Gospel According To’ and then the block writing for my name. I chose a picture that would work well with my page and would stand out, however I wanted it to be slightly different to the magazine example I found. As my main article was an interview/chat, I wanted it to be less serious than the Nicki Minaj picture, so I chose one that presented a care-free look. This was one of me jumping in the air.
- 9. In this screenshot, I moved my image around in order for it to look like I was holding my name up. I also changed the colour of the writing at the top to a gold to match the gold on my front cover for it to stand out and look different to my example. I then wrote up my main article and put it into columns on my double page spread. This consisted of 4 main questions and I also picked out parts of my interview to box out. By doing this, people would read the box-outs first and feel intrigued as they would want to know what part of the article it has come from and what else was said. This is a way of getting people interested in my main article.
- 11. This is my double page spread all together. The picture overlaps like the one in the magazine example I found.
- 12. This is my contents page. I took the inspiration from an example of a contents page I found online. I came up with 8 different articles to include in my magazine, some of which were mentioned on my front cover such as the interview with ‘Olivia Goulding’. Again, I included the gold for the ongoing theme throughout the magazine as well as sticking with the pink, white and black. I created a polaroid picture of myself, again looking relaxed and natural. I did this through Photoshop and found a blank polaroid to put my image from my photoshoot inside. I also screenshotted my double page of my main article to include on the side as a sneak peek for the audience. In the bottom right hand corner, I made an editorial comment. I made this up myself using a picture of my friend Patricia that I took for her during the photoshoot. By using her image and making a comment as if she was the editorial manager, I was taking inspiration from my example and also trying to make it look realistic as possible.
- 13. My finishing touches consisted of adding the issue date on the top right corner under my mast head and also the price. This way, my audience can see which issue they are purchasing and if they have missed out one. The price is important, as it is what people look for when purchasing something. I made sure that the price of my magazine matched my survey answers so that people wouldn’t mind paying the price that I decided on. I went for £1.50 so that it was in between the two most popular answers (£1 and £2)
- 14. Finally, on my double page spread I added another box-out on the right hand side saying ‘It’s all about girl power’, which I lifted from my text that I wrote. Again, this acts as a way of grabbing the audience’s attention and making them want to read more. Also, I needed to fill the negative space at the bottom of the page and thought this worked well. In my example that I found online, a lot of the box-outs were in simple black text so I thought I’d add something similar.
