Planning the double page spread

For my double page spread I began to think about what and who I would interview. I decided that I would have an interview with the band 'BeeTee' portrayed by myself and my friend.
I wrote out my interview onto a Word Document.
I then went back to my plans I had made for my layout of my double page spread, and i then planned out where the text and images would go on the page.

The contents page

I had edited the picture that I wanted to use for my contents page. I tried to make the contents page so that it flowed on from the front page cover, I used the same types of fonts and colours and the colour scheme I used was eye catching.

This is what I created, once again on Photoshop:

The magazine front cover

Once I had edited my chosen pictures, I then began making my front page cover.

This was the finished result:

I used this picture because I thought that it was the most eye catcing and appealing for readers.

I tried to include as much of my knowlegde about the magazine industry to try to make my cover desirable for people who might want to buy it. My targeted audience was more of a younger generation and music lovers.

The making of the music magazine

When I had taken my pictures I began editing them Using Photoshop and used Photoshop to make the magazines. I used various tools such as changing the colour and contrast to adding effects using the sponge and burn tool.
I also removed any blemishes that were on the pictures, and had a gore/horror theme on my front page, however, on my contents page I did the exact opposite and used happy rainbow colours.

Planning and Making

After finishing making my sixthform preliminary task then I started looking at how I was going to make my music magazine and what colours I would use and what my images would be of.

I decided to take pictures of my friend and I as a band.

I then began taking pictures and picked out the few pictures that I was going to use.

This is some of the pictures.

Making the sixthform magazine

After I had the images that I wanted to use I edited them on Photoshop and I also made my front page cover on Photoshop.

This was the end reult that I had.

Taking Action

After finding out all that I need to begin thinking about my sixthform magazine, I then began planning what colours I would use for the front page and contents page.

I then went out and took some pictures that I would use as my chosen images in my preliminary task. After I had finished taking thewse pictures and loading them onto the computer, these are the pictures that I chose to use.
