MUSIC MAGAZINE FINAL CONTENTS PAGE

MUSIC MAGAZINE FINAL CONTENTS PAGE: Genre; Pop

CREATING THE BACKGROUND(Adobe Photoshop)

• I created a new layer and then a circular shape which I fill was filled in blue and then blurred by using Gaussian Blur (Directions: Filter – Blur – Gaussian Blur). I Then Create many layers doing the same process but with different colours.

• Once that was done I then applied a difference cloud effect over the whole project and apply the projection to hard light.

• Once this is done I use the paint brush tool and change the settings to scattering so I am able to create a path of dots. I also create dots which are a smaller size and then change the projection to soft light.

PHOTO EDITING(Adobe Photoshop)

• I take the photo I have taken for the front cover and transform the scale of the image to fit a presentable size. I then sharpen the image.


• After I extract the body of the picture from the background, I then change the colour scheme of the picture to greyscale and a lens flare effect before importing it on to the background I had made.

• I do the same with the second photo taken but this time after I sharpen the image (Directions: Filter- Sharpen- Sharpen) I change the blend mode opacity to 31% in order to blend in with the background.

TEXT ON INDESIGN

• I then export the project to Adobe InDesign where I add the title the heading using Verdana text different colours for different sectors of the magazine in order to create a co-ordinated structured magazine as well as the title Contents page.

• I then added a black stroke to the headings to make them stand out.

EXTRA ADD ONS

• Once that was done I used the paintbrush to scatter dots around the grey scaled image in order to enhance the effect of the page.
