Magazine Creation
- 1. This is the image we have choose for our magazine cover: We first saturated all of the colour out of the image, and increased the contrast to make the black and white colours more bolder. We then used the blur tool all over the photo to blur out all details from the photo.
- 2. We then found the exact font of the Empire magazine title, which is on all of the Empire magazine covers. We then pasted it onto a separate layer, placed it above the image.
- 3. We then created another layer, and pasted the original photo onto of it, this is to make the characters 3d from the background. Be cause we added the characters on top, we then had to blur the edges of the people, but also alter the appearance of the characters to make them more suitable for the front cover.
- 4. We then touched up the outfit of the character in front to make the clothing look less recognizable, and to take attention away from the clothes. Before: After:
- 5. Next we started to add the finer details to the magazine, such as the issue date, and the price.
- 6. After that the rest of the magazine was simply adding the tag lines and featuring articles.
- 8. The development of the magazine was simply adding more and more text around the page to make it more appealing, and to attract different audiences.
- 9. We then added a box, to and the title of the magazine. The point of the box was to attract more attention to the title, but also to add more red to the colour scheme of the magazine cover.
- 10. We then added the barcode to the corner of the magazine, and added a cover line to the title of the text, along with a white border to the box to make it stand out from the rest of the text.
- 11. The last touches we added to the magazine were removing the sub title How was your 2013 this was because we it wasn’t related to the genre of the magazine cover. We finally added the last touches of text to the magazine.
- 12. To finish of the magazine we changed the title of the tagline to 50 scariest horrors of all time to attract the right audience for the genre of film.
