Transcript of Front Cover And Contents Page Analysis
College Magazine projectAnalysis
The front page is made up of many diffrrent brushes and default images that have been carefully placed. To ensure easy editing and recalling of effets you must remeber to
create new layers. This magazine has been created to impersanize a club magazine and all the colours carfully interact. This is the same for the back page.
Insert your desired image into photo shop and using the QUICK
SELECTION TOOL (W) cut around your image. Open a
separate work space and set the background to the colour you want. Press ctrl, alt + c to copy the cut out picture to your new
work space.
After copying the photo over into your new
workspace just simply move it into the
position you want it. Once doing this you
just need to press enter to lock it.
Now for the colour and brushes. Using different
brushes you can add different effects and patterns. As this
was my first attempt of a magazine so I have not
changed any of the lighting or contrast etc
Using the brushes you can bulk up
the front with different
patterns and colours.
Using the text tool create as many text boxes as you need in your
desired location. You can change the colour, shape, size and audacity. For
the (extacey) text input I used the blending option to add inner and
outer shadow an and the gradient option to get the blue and pink
effect.
This contents page has an easy to read and see contents section. Simplicity and complexity sometimes need to interact to give the reader an idea of diversity. The contents page has been based around different but light and noticeable colours.

OPEN your picture in Photoshop. Using the
quick selection tool cut out the medium close up and copy it onto
your new project, but ensure to open a new
layer.
Once you have done this you can now start adding effects and
brushes to your project ensuring that you open a new layer for
each brush and text input etc. To relate the front cover to the contents page you must use
either similar images or similar colours.
Using the stamp tool you can add small icons such as
arrows. I used this to make a connection between the
arrow and contents ( sense of moving on) and using the
brush tool draw a line from the arrow to the text
(CONTENTS)
Select the line tool on the top menu bar to create a line. This line is to be used for the margin. Ensure you create a new
layer for each different brush or
effect.
Once finishing each page, go to FILE>SAVE AS>JPEG and then export.
After using different brushes to apply
bullets and different splodges you can now
add your contents. Making sure that the
text has similar colours that relate to the front.

All other images brushes defaulted in Photoshop CS3 and have been adjusted using the blending option in the program.
