I started the magazine cover by cropping out the background which my model was in

front of.


2/19

I then resized the image by scaling it down and then I selected the area which I

wanted to focus on, the upper body and arm.


3/19

I then began to edit the image using threshold, bevel and emboss, gradient overlay and

drop shadow. My aim originally was to distort and keep the cover original as possible.


4/19

I then found the glowing edges tool; the image became distinctive and gave an

abstract, unique feel.


5/19

This is the first draft of my cover with a title and strapline.I reduced the vibrancy ofthe glowing edges as I moved forward in the design of my cover. I added a bold title

in the Rockbiter font, it looks like a graffiti design so maintains the urban feel but

isnt harsh and off-putting. The colour white was chosen so it stood out on the black

background. I designated the strapline in the top left of the magazine and used the red

from the brim of the models cap as the font colour, the font itself is Opificio.


6/19

I originally had the magazine name centred and smaller in comparison to other

magazines but I thought that the image dominated the cover and became the most

noticeable part, so to counter this I enlarged the text and broke the line between the

image and magazine name.


7/19

I then added the coverlines for the magazine in the same dark red colour but chose to

use a diiferent font, Artane Elongate. In hindsight the text didnt match with the style

or the genre of the magazine.


8/19

I then began to add magazine conventions to my design. The date, bar code and

registration marks on the one side.


9/19

I then opened my cover in Adobe inDesign and changed the location of my bar code,

changed the colour and font of my coverlines and added the registration marks which

show the whole of the print.

Contents Page Print Screens

A flat plan design for my cover which drafted with minimal detail where certain

things would be located.


11/19

I then inserted my editorial text and title for my double page spread. It still wasnt in

the finished design, it needed to be adapted as other things were introduced to the

double page spread.


12/19

I then spread the main image into my double page spread, I aimed to link the two

pages together through the use of the central image, and the arm was the main linking

point.


13/19

At this point I changed the colour of some of the font so that it didnt become illegible

to the reader.


14/19

Also at this point, the smaller images in the bottom right were inputted and a quote

from the editorial was also introduced. This quote also helped in binding the two

pages together and makes them look cohesive rather then two individual pages.


15/19

The finished double page spread with the page numbers and magazine name placed at

the top of the page.

Contents Page Design


16/19

When designing my contents page I had ideally used a black background to follow on

from the theme from the cover. I had also placed the logos to Facebook and Twitter

on the contents page so the buyers of the magazine know they can interact with the

magazine online.


17/19

At this point I changed to a white background and placed the image into the page.


18/19

I then began to place in the text pieces to the page. I decided to use the blue from the

models zip as the other colour in the scheme; it provided a nice contrast to the darker

scheme of the cover. I chose an arrangement of 3 fonts on the cover, someprofessional looking and some less formal fitting the casual style and tone to the

magazine.
