Editing the double page spread

Once again, I began by blocking out my pages- where I wanted my image to go, where the pull quote should go, and the area that I wanted my text to take up. I then continued by filling in the remaining aspects and conventions of a double page spread, including the image and text.

Creating my contents page

 I began by blocking in where the conventional features would go, then continued to fill in the text, making sure it was relevant to my genre.

I then began to fill out the page by adding in other conventional features for a magazine contents page of my selected genre.

Making my front cover

 First I blocked out where I wanted my text and conventional features to appear on the page.

 I began filling in the relevant text.

 I played around with adding features conventional to a magazine to see if they worked for my genre of magazine.

I finally settled on this format for my cover.

Editing my images: Front cover

In order for my images to fit the house style of my magazine, they needed to follow a certain colour pallet; Black, white and red. To ensure this, I took some of the photographs from my shoot, and tried my hand at editing them in photoshop. I converted the images into black and white, then created a new layer on each in which I selected the red highlights of the photos and brought them forward. I also corrected blemishes, and used the burn tool to enhance the shadows.
