Print Screens Of Contents Page

After completely changining my colour scheme while creating my front cover on photoshop i then changed my contents page on Quark. I realised that i wanted all my images on one side and all my text on the other so it is split up into 2 colums using the quark tool that allowed you to move them around and adding an extra image that conotes music and goes with my double page spread article. Then adding 6 boxes using the text box tool down the sides in black, red and grey to include the different sections of my magazine. Also using photoshop i added 'this month' to the top of my contents page a used a shadow effect so it enables it to stand out showing people what my magazine will include this month.

After looking at other contents pages i realised that they don't have much spare space showing and it's all very full and crazy therefore i added a black line inbetween my to colums using the rectangle tool and filled it in black by clicking on the colour square at the bottom of the page so the spaced was filled and they looked alot more like 2 coloums because there was a line sperating them. I also didnt like how there was alot of white at the top of my page so i added a grey rectange underneithe the title again using the rectangle Quark tool that goes along the top which i think makes the title stand out more.

 With my boxes down the side they need headlines inside them to show people what is in each section of my magzine. I used a white Quark text box and black writing because black stands out on white therefore making it easier to read and attention grabbing. I also added the realse date under this month which is smaller and helps the reader know what issuse she has.

I started with regulars because thats one of the first things your reader reads. Each article in the magazine has a page number to help the reader find what they want to read. In in each section i start with the lowest page number this is because its part of the codes and conventions of a real contents page. 

From then on I added the same colour and size headline to each box but changed the font to make the contents page more intresting for the reader. Aslo adding the things that will appear in my magazine and the page number to go with it. For the last box which is 'The Cover' I added a little bit about them this is becuase they are the main storys in my magazine and appear on the front cover I had to make this box the biggest by using the re size Quark tool.

This is my final contents i added the last picture by importing it from my files and using the tool 'scale picture to box' this means it moved the picture to fit the box that i drawn out. I also changed the font of each section so they were all matching making it less crazy.

Print screens of double page spread

 To add more of the yellow colour i added a rectangle box using Quark down the center of the page in the middle to seperate the text from the image. I then inclued the quotes that are in every music double page spread when there is an interview i changed the colour to pink to match the outline of my image but using the colour tool. I wanted add a swirly font for this because i want it to conote that she is speaking. I then added the sunheading i have done this in the same colours as my masthead and in text boxes using the text box toolm I found this easy because i had already used Quark in for my contents page and did the same for that to.

 I then finished it off so all of the letters in there boxes using the text box tool from Quark and rotating them by double clicking and moving the mouse so they would move in different ways. I then placed them to overlap eachother to give an edge to the article.

 I then began to start the masthead this took alot of my time up because looking at mastheads from professional music magazines they are always different and creative so by using Quark i was able to make my own up. Thats why i started of with drawing a text box on quark and filled it in white this contrasts with the black background and makes it stand out. Then i added a smaller text box and placed it so it was overlaping the first box, I filled it in yellow because it was also a bright eye catching colour. Then i decided to do little boxes for each letter of youtube and have them over lapping. This suggest the personality of the girl i interviewed as being crazy.

 After that I wrote out my article onto word a document and then imported it into 3 colums on the opposite side to my writing. What i found difficult was getting the colums the same size to make sure the end of each colum with the writing were on the same line.

I started off with a black background which i changed on Quark using the colour tool from white to black. Then using photoshop i cut around the image using the polygon lasso tool to leave the pink back ground around it. I found this difficult because everytime you did something wrong you had to start cutting around it again.

Print Screens Of The Front Cover

Using photoshop to complete my front cover. After picking my colour scheme green, purple and black i decided I would use two colours for my title so I made a smaller green O inside of a larger black O this makes it more indiviual which a indie magazine should be because indie means individual. After looking a lots of magazine a lot of them use graphics so i decided to use a circle and include one of my coverlines inside it. Every magazine includes a slogan i put mine next to the title because they both relate to each other. When doing my coverlines in included lots of different fonts this engages the reader and gives them something to look at.

When i inserted my image i had to move a lot of my things around that i had already put in like resizing some things to and changing the colours. An example of this would be a graphic that i used being the black circle because my image includes someone holding a vinyl you couldn't see the black circle because they both looked to familar. Therefore i changed it for a rectangle shaped box that was clear and inculded all three of the colours. I also added the barcode into the left hand corner because without this it isn't following the codes and conventions.

After deciding i wanted a complete change of colour after looking at more music magazine i realised most of them used red so i incluede red, blue, black and white. I started changing my colour scheme by changing the smaller O to red. Then i changed the colour of my first coverline so it included red, blue and black i also has to change the size because this wasn't my main cover line so i had to make it smaller therefore people wouldn't think it matched with the image.

I then added the same slogan that hadn't changed from my very first attempt but made it smaller due to looking at the size of slogans on other music magazines. I also placed it under my title because it looked better and fitted more under the title instead of above. I then thought i should start the main coverline which linked to the image. Photoshop helped me do this by getting a satin finish in the red writing and having a white glow outside the text this relating to the image it makes her look like she is a glowing artist also having the whole thing in capitals relates to the picture because it shows she's in charge and not affarid to stand out.

To make the main coverline stand out even more i added 'Reveals all' to add graphics i also added a white box for it to go inside this grabs the readers attentions because its a block colour this is importand because the words reveals all makes the reader want to find out more about the artist.

 To give my front cover more of an edger look a made reveals slant so the corner was just touching 'Karlea B'. I also added the coverline 'The story behind V' which was on my very first attempt of the magazine but this time i made the letter V go behind the text which realtes to the coverline it is also bolder this helps it stand out more. I added another coverline at the top of the page in itallics because its exciting being the only thing in the magazine you can win.

 After looking at my magazine i realised it needed to be more full so i added another coverline because looking at magazine front cover i realised they were alot more busier than mine. Each word is a different colour, font and size to grab the audiences attention.

Being the only thing you can win in my magazine i thought it should stand out more so i made it a banner across the top of my page because looking at music magazine front covers lots of them include a banner either at the top or bottom of the page. To finish my magazine off i added the barcode at the bottom right hand corner with the price and date in smaller writing underneith. With out this i wouldnt be following the codes and conventions of a magzine.
