Changes Made


This was my oringinal front cover for my prouduct.  However was shown there have been many changes.  The first change is the colour of the background, on my latest one I have a grey styled background and on this one I have a white background.  I changed the colours when I got audience feedback they said it looked to bland due to the lack of colour.  I have took this comment and changed the background.  I also changed the text box backgrounds to suit in with the house style of the magazine.  

Under this post is my finshed and actual front cover for my media product.

Double Page Spread Progression

To start my double page spread I created a box to show the name of the page.  To create this box I went to the rectangle tool drew the size of the shape I wanted, then I selected the colour I wanted and filled it in with the bucket tool.       

Then I insert text on top of this box to highlight it.  To do this I went to the text tool, selected the colour I wanted and typed it out.  

Then I inserted a line down the middle of the page to make the split of the double page spread.  To do this I went to the line tool, went into the middle of the page and drew a straight line down to the bottom.  To keep the line straight I held down shift as I drew the line.  

Next I inserted a black box, this box will be were I will insert the text for the page.  To do this I went to the rectangle tool and drew the size I wanted, then I filled in the colour with the bucket tool.  

Next I inserted an image onto the page.  This image was An image which I took myself at there concert.  To get the image I went to file-open-selected the image then clicked done.  

Next I inserted two images onto the page.  This image was An image which I took myself at there concert.  To get the image I went to file-open-selected the image then clicked done.  

Next I inserted the final image onto the page.  This image was An image which I took myself at there concert.  To get the image I went to file-open-selected the image then clicked done.  

Then I Inserted a personalised font onto the page.  To do this I went onto file-open and selected the Photoshop file and then used the select tool and highlight the image I wanted and copied and pasted it into the double page spread file.  

Next I typed out the font for the article.  To do this I went onto the text tool, lined it up and typed it up.  

Finally I typed out a quote which a band member said.  To do this I went onto the text tool, lined it up and typed it up.

Contents Page Progression


To start my contents page I have opened the correct file, this is international page located when a user opens a new file.  After this I have I made a contents bar at the top of the page.  To to this I selected the rectangle tool and drew this box.  I have made it black to contrast well with the background.  

Next I inserted contents into the contents bar.  The information in this bar explain what page the view is on.  I have kept the same text for the "UPBEAT" text to make the magazine consistent.  The rest of the text is in the text style "Segoe UI", I have chosen this because it is noticeable and easily readable.  I have put the website address on this so the viewers can view more about the magazine.   

Next I have inserted the pictures I haven taken, I did this by going onto file, open then selected the images I wanted.  I have placed them on the right hand side because from my research it shows that the images are usually on the right and the text is on the left.  I have made the top image bigger because it is the main article of the magazine.  

Next I have put in the title box's.  To do this I have used the rectangle tool to do this.  I have made the box's black to contrast well with the white background.  

Then I put the text of the sections into the title box's.  I have used the font style "Segoe UI" because it stands out and is easily readable.  I have made the colour white to stand out on the black background.

Then I added box's to put the numbers in.  I have done to make the numbers stand out and so that viewers will notice them easily and therefore know the page numbers of other features.  To do this I drew my box's and ajusted to size to fit the numbers size.   


Next I added the numbers into these box's so that the audience will know were to find other features within the magazine.  I used "Segoe UI" as the font because it stands out on the black background.    

Next I added the text features onto the context page.  I have made the titles bigger than the other text to make it stand out more as a title.  Under the title I have inserted more text explaining more about it.  I used "Segoe UI" as the text file as it stands out. 

Finally I added the text onto the images of the main features.  This is so that viewers will know what page number the main articles are on.  I used "Segoe UI" as the font style as it stands out and is clear.
