Number 6
- 1. Production work By Max Bird
- 2. Photoshop • First of all I used the software ‘Photoshop’ to manipulate my pictures and to create my magazine, we went through the layering process and learning new techniques on how to get the best out of it.
- 3. The manipulation of my magazine. • Here is the start of my magazine, firstly I have used the Horizontal type mask tool to get the scratch effect on my masthead letters.
- 4. • As you can see here I have added a ‘BlackBerry Messenger’ sign on it, I got this by using the CMD+Shift+4 tool which is screen grab. I have taken this from an existing magazine called vibe.
- 5. • My next step was creating a strap line to draw in my audience, I have added names of big Hip-Hop artists. The same font is used throughout my front cover .
- 6. • Its all coming together now, I have added my headlines in, I was inspired by a existing magazine called vibe and again the same font is used. There is a red block to make the first words stand out so that means the font colour has to change.
- 7. • Its all come together now I have added my main image, as you can see I had to bring some of the text forward so the image isn’t blocking it and the image slots into the empty space. I have used the Magic eraser tool here to get ride of the white background of which the picture was sitting in.
- 8. InDesign • On InDesign you can add images in you have manipulated on Photoshop and insert them with no hassle, only thing is you can’t copy and past you have to inset them through the: File – Place so the images background isn’t white. Also you can get text in columns so the format is like a article in a magazine which is helpful for me as this is my double page spread.
