Weekly Update: Week 12

This week I have completed my features article on Photoshop. I am very happy with the way it has turned out. I think the colours of red, white and black go very well together and compliment each other. Although I sometimes found it hard to manipulate the images, but I made sure I learnt to do what I needed to do in order to make my images look the way I wanted them to.

Weekly Update: Week 11

This week, I completed my contents page; I am happy with the way it looks now. I've started writing my article which I aim to complete for next week, so I can have a rough idea of how much text will be on the two pages and whether I will need to write any more/reduce the amount of text. For my article, I have taken a type of story that is used quite often in music magazines. Instead of a simple question/answer interview I will embed quotes and questions/answers into an article on the band.

Weekly Update: Week 10

This week, I began constructing my contents page on Photoshop. I think I chose a good picture for the background because of its composition. However, it has taken me quite a while to decide which colours/sizes I want to use for my text. I've chosen one, which I think is good and easy to read so I'm going to stick with it and construct the rest of the page. And if necessary, I will change the font of all of the text once I have finished.

Weekly Update: Week 9

I am very close to completing my front cover. I have finished choosing the fonts and writing out each part of the front cover. I've been working on placing them and making sure they are in the best possible place. I have found it hard to make everything go exactly where I want it to, as I've had to put things where they look best, not necessarily where I like them. This makes the magazine look better.
