Rework of magazine:


1) 2)

After listening to some feedback, I decided to try to use a different picture for my magazine cover. I also used a different font title, just to test out some of the fonts included in photoshop, rather than a font I previously downloaded. In my opinion I like the second one better, because it's more original, and spicy, however I wasn't exactly sure. So I went and got some feedback from others in my media class, and other people who don't take media. The minority agreed with me, which made me feel more confident that this was the correct image to use for a front cover.

Adding pictures to double page spread


I decided that I didn't like my double page spread, because it didn't seem to have a specific edge I was looking for, So I decided to go back to and rework some objects, and add more pictures. This is what I came up with:
I added 2 more pictures over some fake wire, which I drew on photoshop, and used the emboss tool to make it look authentic.
I like the look of this, better to my previous double page spread, however I plan on adding more text, and perhaps some kind of background to the main image, to show some cutting out skills, and to make the page look more effective.

Developing ideas for new contents page


When I come up with ideas, it helps to actually produce mock ups on photoshop, and these are a few I have done so far...
(Just a mock up)
I think that this layout is better than my previous one, because it includes more pictures, however I don't like the colour scheme, because it makes the text less vibrant and less obvious, because the background contains too much white.

I think what my contents page needs is a picture of a band, because currently, its all solo artists. I need to show more skills with photoshop also, I will do this by perhaps cutting around a complicated image, and changing the background, which will demonstrate 1 or 2 more skills. I will also add more pages to my magazine, because 21 pages just isn't enough.
